Actor Iqra Aziz recently took to Instagram to share pictures from a training session she attended on how to fight against street harassment, and the starlet’s mentor was none other than Hollywood actor Eva Longoria.

Iqra shared a picture alongside Eva from the Sand Up training, which took place in Dubia. She wrote in the caption, “Had the honour of attending a live Stand Up training at the Dubai Expo; organised by L'Oréal Paris in collaboration with Hollaback.”

She added, “I got to meet Eva Longoria who led the session and explained the 5D methodology to combat sexual harassment in public spaces. We can all play our part by taking the training.”

The program states on its website, “Not knowing what constitutes street harassment and what to do, limits our ability to take action, chipping away at the self-worth of men and women who suffer from street harassment.”

It adds, “The goal of the Stand Up program is to train 1,000,000 people to become Upstanders and ultimately build a culture where street harassment is seen as unacceptable behaviour.”

In 2019, Mahira Khan, who is also a L'Oreal brand ambassador, walked the ramp at the L'Oréal Paris Le Défilé runway show at Paris Fashion Week alongside Eva.
