Global sensation Priyanka Chopra, who is a Global Citizen ambassador is currently in Davos to attend the World Economic Forum. The 'Baywatch actress has been quite active on social media giving her fans a glimpse of her trip but it's her speech about addressing the world leaders about extreme poverty, climate change and inequity that has gone viral on the internet.
Talking about countering world poverty, Priyanka said, "I might not be a billionaire that can make the kind of contributions that we’re talking about, but I know that as soon as I had a little bit of a platform when I started my work in the entertainment business almost 20 years ago, I understood the power of influence, I understood the power of keeping the conversation going.
I understood the power of not letting it die down, to understand the urgency."

Furthermore, she added, "Let's bring the world to a place where a child's dreams are achievable, where that child can get an education, where that child can have papers, where that child can actually have a future. I want my kids to grow up in a world where the world leaders have listened to Greta’s generation, where the climate crisis is contained if not averted, where a woman’s ability to succeed is a basic human right and not based on geography and chance."

Apart from her speech at the World Economic Forum, PeeCee's latest post praising Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for all her contribution is also being appreciated by her fans. She wrote, "Dr. Ngozi on behalf of Gavi has vaccinated 86% of the world’s children and has saved over 13 million lives since 2000. She is truly doing God’s work. Dr. Ngozi is an economist, international development expert and the Chair of @gavialliance - an incredible organization that has helped immunize more than 760 million children and saved 13 million lives. The proof is in the numbers, and it's evident that with organizations like Gavi and its amazing partners like @unicef and @who, we can eradicate extreme poverty. 🌎 🤝 #Davos2020"

While PeeCee has been receiving praise from all quarters for her honest speech, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's speech about mental health while accepting the Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum grabbed everyone's attention. Well, that was not all as the 'Padmaavat' actress even opened up about her battle with depression as well.
