“The story that Vibha Bakshi tells in “Son Rise’ is one that needs to be told. ‘Son Rise’ not only shines a spotlight on an issue that societies prefer to hide, it provides hope through the stories of heroes who stood up for what they saw as right and just and by doing that, they created positive change. And that is a beautiful story to tell.”

“The beautiful thing about the art is that it reflects our thoughts, it changes our minds, it demonstrates our foolishness, it brings tears into our eyes but it leaves us with profound opportunity to reflect.
UN Women is very proud to be associated with Vibha Bakshi and United Nations is proud to be a part of this journey.”

“Nothing gets to the heart the way cinema does. SON RISE is ‘Magic’ since it brings out not only voices of discrimination but of courage, of sheer strength.
I am so confident that Son Rise will lay the emergency exit for gender issues that our country faces. We, at UN Women are privileged and honored to partner with Vibha Bakshi on her film SON RISE.”
