Despite a busy schedule, Mrunal is keen on addressing these pressing global issues, particularly those related to the intersection of sexual violence and conflict. Expressing her anticipation for the event, Mrunal Thakur said, "Being a part of this panel discussion is a profound honor for me. Love Sonia was not just a film; it was a journey into the darkest corners of humanity, shedding light on the unimaginable suffering endured by victims of human trafficking. Through my role, I had the opportunity to delve deep into the complexities of this issue, and it has since become a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. Participating in this panel allows me to lend my voice to the collective effort of raising awareness and advocating for change.” She added, “It's an opportunity to amplify the voices of those who have been silenced and to stand in solidarity with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. I am deeply grateful for this platform and eager to contribute to the important conversations that lie ahead."

Joining her on the panel will be distinguished speakers including Masha Efrosinina, Fawzia Koofi, Cohav Elkayam Levy, Meaza Gebremedhin, and Areig Elhagwill. The event promises to be a platform for robust dialogue and advocacy on a global scale. Speaking of the panel, it aims to explore the global context and impact of sexual violence in conflict zones, including its interlinkage with human trafficking. Thakur's involvement is key to the panel, considering the research she underwent to portray the harrowing experiences faced by victims of trafficking in Love Sonia.
