The event Run4Niine is supported by the Niine Movement, which launched the nationwide #18to82 campaign movement to bridge the gap between the 18 per cent of menstruating females in country who use sanitary napkins, and the 82 per cent predominantly engaging in unhygienic and unsafe alternatives such as old cloths, rags, hay and even ash.

Sharing his views on Women's Day, actor said: "It is a significant day for women and girls across the world; a day when women are not only celebrated for their achievements and contributions in all sectors of life but a cold reminder of the inequalities that exist in our society which have kept girls and women back for centuries.
