Islamabad Mar 7 (TNS): National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said on Wednesday that the role of women was very crucial in the prosperity and progress of any society.
In his message on the International Women Day, he said that it was unfortunate that women around the globe were abused, harassed, marginalized and were compelled to live a miserable life under the constant shadow of violence, discrimination and poverty.
He expressed these view in his message on International Women day being commemorated throughout the world on Wednesday.
He said that Islam gives equal respect and rights to women and strictly negated gender discrimination. He said that women in our society are confronting severe problems in education, healthcare and employment sectors. He said denying to women of their due rights was hampering economic progress and development. He said there was a need to change the mindset and perception of people regarding women rights and bring them into the mainstream. The women have been sufficiently represented in the present parliament and opportunities have been provided to them for their enhanced role in national development. The Speaker said that Constitution has granted equal rights for life protection, job, business, education and freedom to choose the profession and for the activities in the political and social spheres.
The Speaker said that women representation in public affairs was imperative to the functioning and strengthening of democracy and struggle against the oppression. He said that women need to be economically empowered, therefore, women entrepreneurs are being encouraged to play an active role in economic activities.
Sadiq also appreciated the role of Women Parliamentary Caucus in National Assembly for protecting women rights and empowering them politically and economically. He also appreciated the role of non-governmental organizations working for welfare and rights of women.
National Assembly Deputy Speaker Murtaza Javed Abbasi said that the government is committed to undertaking every effort to provide a safe environment to the women of Pakistan.
He said that with the support of all stakeholders including the legislature, judiciary, executive, civil society and media we can achieve a bold transformation in the status of the women of our country. “Only with collaborative partnerships women can be empowered to take their rightful place in society and the economy of our country” he added.
