“Empowerment of women holds the key to country’s development”
Allah created all the creatures; the earth, the sky, the moon, the sun, the hell, the heaven, the angels and the spirit but chosen man as his vice and puts the crown of honor on his head, among all the people he declared His Prophets the more successful persons and among all prophets He selects as the most successful personality, the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH).
And When this triumphant personality starts his work, his body shivers on the occasion of the first revelation. There was none except an empowered woman who heightened his morals, gave him courage, healed his heart, comforted his soul and assisted him in bringing a revolution for the betterment of humanity.
“Behind every successful man, there is a strong, wise and
hardworking woman”
“Empowering means moving from enforced powerlessness to the position of power”
Our History is full of such brave, bold, courageous and great women who proved that their presence is undeniable, irrefutable and indisputable for the betterment of society.
Islamic Revolution, French Revolution, West Revolution, Chinese Revolution and Pakistan Movement, All these got success, Popularity, fame, and acceptance because in foretold movements, women were empowered economically, socially, politically, religiously, and environmentally.
In his oft-quoted speech of 1944, Quaid-e-Azam clearly said,
“No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within four walls of houses as prisoners. We cannot achieve our objectives without empowering them.”
Miss Fatima Jinnah, Begum Rena Liaqat Ali, Begum Jahan-Ara Shahnawaz, Begum Waqar-un-Nisa and in the current era Ayesha Ranjha and Ayesha Mumtaz Proved valiantly that M. A. Jinnah was right.
Fortunately, we, as a Pakistani, are fertile in this regard. But the need is to empower them. And education is the key source to strengthen women with knowledge, skill and self-confidence. Sustainable development is only possible when women and men enjoy equal opportunities to reach their potential. Investing in women and girls’ education is one of the most effective ways to eradicate poverty, illiteracy, corruption and a lot of vices of the society.
If we want to emerge as a successful and developed nation on the map of world, we have to believe in the truth that
“Empowerment of Women Holds the Key to the Country’s Development”
Napoleon asserts,
“Give me good mothers I Will give you good nation.”
