Women MPs termed more hardworking

PML-N senator says 'no nation can touch the heights of glory until their women are working side by side with men'

ISLAMABAD: Women are more hardworking then men, be it their house, the Upper House or the Lower House of the Parliament, said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Najma Hameed on Saturday.

Lauding the efforts of Pakistani women parliamentarians, she said they were more hardworking and dutiful as compared with their male colleagues.

Commenting on the role of women in connection with International Women Day being celebrated on March 8, she said, everyone should recognise their endeavours and efforts in the business of both the houses of the parliament.

She said, "No nation can touch the heights of glory until their women are working side by side with men."

Women in many countries of the world were denied equal share of work and rights especially in rural and far flung areas.

Majority of women were stressed due to living in a male dominating society. Women should be provided with equal status like men as they were equally powerful and strong to fight to prove their abilities in every sphere of life, she said.
