When you buy a Harley-Davidson, you don’t just get a motorcycle, but you become part of a culture that has been in existence for decades. Harley-Davidson owners from across the world have been participating in various rides for different causes. On this Sunday, October 12, Streets across India roared with heavy exhaust sounds as Harley-Davidson celebrated International Day of the Girl Child with a Father-Daughter Ride.
The ride was held in partnership with The Bindi Project, a non-profit organization that envisions India as a society that loves, respects and values all its daughters. The goal of the ride was to drive positive inspiration amongst every parent to love and respect their daughters while ensuring they live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives, free from all forms of violence, exploitation, and discrimination.
Anoop Prakash, Managing Director of Harley-Davidson India along with 100 H.O.G members from Capital Harley-Davidson rode to Vivanta by Taj, Surajkund to spread the message that every daughter deserves love and respect.
Speaking on the occasion of this ride, Bikram Puri, Director Capital Harley-Davidson Chapter, said, “We are very proud to be a part of the Father-Daughter Ride in partnership with The Bindi Project and spread the message of fostering love and respect for our daughters and women in the society. It was great initiative because it involved our daughters who are our lifelines and we really enjoyed riding with them!”
Adding his thoughts on the Father-Daughter ride, Sunil Desai, Founder of The Bindi Project said, “On the occasion of the 3rd International Day of the Girl Child, I am deeply grateful to Harley Owners Group for holding Father-Daughter rides across India and encouraging fathers to pledge to love and respect their daughters and share their own stories on social media with hashtag #mydaughtermypride. These actions are exactly the kind that I believe will inspire other men and boys to desire such relationships and foster love and respect for all women and girls in India. We welcome and encourage all individuals and communities of all types to join us.”
On this occasion, hundreds of Harley owners across the country also signed The Bindi Project Pledge to treat their daughters with love and respect and to nurture and support all their children alike.
