The Beti fashion show unites celebs to educate and empower the girl child.

Every year, entrepreneur Anu Ranjan hosts a fashion show to raise funds for the cause of girl children in India.

The proceeds from 'Beti Movement' go towards empowering girls to pursue their education and fight atrocities like acid attacks and rape.
