There’s been enormous progress globally and locally for LGBTQ but people from the community still face almost endless numbers of obstacles. The biggest challenge will always be social acceptance, said Betta Naan Stop. Even at the current point of time we have people in majority who do not understand basic human rights. The discrimination against trans individuals is very high. People still miss judge the community and stereotype them. Even though it’s not illegal anymore, social acceptance will always be a challenge.

As an artist she always tries to influence people in doing the right thing and you don't have to be famous to do that. Betta Naan Stop would like to inculcate in the society, “Speak about important issues, educate people about new and existing things and most importantly spread Love and kindness. Using your art, skill and talent to uplift even one single individual is a great initiative anyone can take”.

Lastly, Betta Naan Stop sends a message to the society that love and kindness heals everything. Value and Cherish each and every Individual you come across in your lives and encourage them to do the same further.
