President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said that social and economic gaps affect women much more than others and that "our daughters should be given freedom to venture out to explore and find their potential."

Addressing an International Conference on Women's Health, Wellness and Empowerment, the President said, "This conference has a commendable theme 'Give her wings and let her soar'. When we give our daughters and young girls in our families the freedom to venture out, to explore and find their potential, they soar higher and higher."
