Yami Gautam has been receiving great accolades from critics and audiences alike for her performance in her latest outing 'A Thursday'

Actress Yami Gautam has joined hands with two NGOs -- Majlis and Pari (People Against Rape in India) -- to support victims of sexual assault and to work for their rehabilitation.

She elaborated that women's safety still has a long way to go and her association with the NGOs for the cause emanates from this very subject.
