Adil Hussain: Patriarchal mindset greatest apartheid on the planet

Actor Adil Hussain said that patriarchy is "the greatest apartheid" as it

alienates half of the population in the world.

Lending his support to #MeToo movement, the actor said that it is

appalling how people are putting women down when they are naming

and shaming their abusers.

"How do we get rid of the patriarchal mindset that men have been drilled to believe in that men are superior than women? I

think that is the greatest apartheid on the planet. Not towards blacks, not towards Dalits, but towards women. Half the

population on the planet is being done injustice to at any given time through words, actions, in society, in politics, everywhere.

"And we don't even recognise it when they come out in public and say 'you have done this to me'. And we try to put her down?"

Hussain said on the sidelines of the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
