A seminar was organised at the Rawalpindi Arts Council in connection with the National Working Women’s Day, to pay tribute to working women in the country.
The seminar was organised on the directives of Rawalpindi Division Commissioner Imdad Ullah Bosal, and was attended by a large number of women from every walk of life.
Addressing the occasion, Senator Najma Hameed said that women played their roles with full devotion for running households and the country. She hoped the rights of Pakistani women would be recognised soon.
Bosal said that present circumstances for women were different from the past as the women today were aware and the seminar was the first step to empower them.
Member National Assembly Tahira Aurangzeb said, “Our society cannot seize the rights of women when Islam has granted complete rights to them.”
Member National Assembly Nighat Parveen said that women were as powerful as men in every field. Member National Assembly Nisar Tanvir said the government acknowledged the role of women in the country. Women had also played a wonderful role in the Pakistan Movement, she added.
Assistant Commissioner General Beenish said the idea to keep women at home was slowly changing in the society and people were paying more attention to the education of females.
