While observing the real problems of the women of rural and civic background, the so-called empowerment of women is not enough. Women can only find the real dignity in pursuit of goals set by Almighty Allah and the Holy Prophet (PBUH). In search of an ideal lifestyle, the mental evolution is vital. The atmosphere and educational infrastructure also play an important role. As per Quranic wisdom, men and women have to contribute equally to make the life vibrant as required by the God.
Women should be aware of their status in the light of Islamic standards. Women have to set aside the trivialities and should find the way towards better understanding of human life in its broader perspective and exercise the God-given faculties to polish their personalities. No one can deprive someone of his or her dignity.
We should learn more to know more and to explore the highest possibilities of human evolution materially and spiritually. Let us be women of wisdom, helpful in pursuit of real human honour.
The high-ups of the country should think on revamping the educational system to facilitate the women of our beloved country for enhancement of their intellect, knowledge and wisdom. Where there is a will, there is a way.
