US First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry will honour the braveheart with the prestigious International Women of Courage Award for inspiring people to fight against gender-based violence on the International Women&#39;s Day tomorrow. &quot;I always get teary eyed and have goosebumps whenever I recall the horrendous incident. <img alt="Sonam Kapoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/may/Sonam-Kapoor.gif" style="width: 500px; height: 784px;" /> It was a deplorable incident and the girl was really courageous to fight against it till the end. &quot;It&#39;s a great initiative by the US as it will give the incident it&#39;s requisite publicity. People in India are resilient and tend to forget things with time but such initiatives will enable us to freshen up our memory,&quot; Sonam said at an event here. The Mumbai-based actress, who was in the Capital to announce the second edition of L&#39;Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards 2013, criticised the security in Delhi. &quot;I have been in Delhi for the past six months and also have a long association with the place. I can walk on the roads alone in Mumbai at midnight but here in Delhi, it becomes unsafe even at 7:30 in the evening,&quot; she added. Sonam believes illiteracy is the main reason behind such crimes. &quot;Education and awareness are the two most important things in our society. So, we need to educate and encourage women first. Illiteracy is the biggest cause of such mindset,&quot; she said. u00a0
