HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HOLLYWOOD Meeting sex workers made me cry: Ashley Judd01st Apr 2007 17.05 IST Hollywood actress Ashley Judd's AIDS awareness campaign in India is turning out to be quite an emotional experience. Judd, who is Global youth AIDS ambassador, is currently in India as part of NGO Population Services International's campaign to spread AIDS awareness among masses and sex workers. She has visited brothels and slums in Mumbai, and has met and talked with prostitutes. 
On NDTV 24x7 'India Questions' show, Judd said she was disturbed after seeing the vulnerability of girls and women in India. "You know, one girl or woman, one boy or man, abused and mistreated to me is the whole world being abused and mistreated. And I have gone to my hotel room at night and I have cried and cried and cried," Ashley said on the programme that was telecast on Saturday. Judd said she could identify with the suffering of young girls because she herself had a troubled childhood. "I was physically, emotionally, sexually and spiritually abused, and as a result I was a very damaged, wounded person...I was drawn to this work partially because, although these circumstances were different, I identified with what I saw people going through," said Judd. Ashley also told the programme's host Prannoy Roy that she preferred the Human Rights work to acting career. "Who could have possibly guessed that Hollywood for me would be my entry into the slums and brothels," she said. |
