KARACHI:
Women have always played a significant role in shaping societies. They have been a driving force behind the health and prosperity of a nation. In our society though, despite their immense contributions, women have to face obstacles in gaining recognition and due respect. In the past, women were often viewed as inferior to men and confined to domestic roles due to perceived physical weakness. While some outdated beliefs still persist, history shows that women have always been just as strong and courageous as men, actively participating in social and political activities. Progress has been made in our society towards recognising women’s rights, with initiatives taken by the successive governments to ensure women have access to education and essential resources. Recognising the importance of mothers, society is beginning to acknowledge their rights and contributions on a par with men. It is crucial to continue advocating for gender equality and empowering women to fully participate in all aspects of society.
