‘We are half of the society, if we are left, how will the society rise? How far can a person walk with one leg tied? Man's interests and ours are not different. Their purpose or goal in life is our goal.' That role can a woman play in establishing herself as a human being and being responsible to the society has been revealed through that statement.
Even in the developed countries of the world, womean had to struggle for gender equality. They are far ahead of the woman group in our region especially South Asia. In those countries, the march of woman at all levels, starting from human welfare, medicine and space scientists, has been observed for many decades.
And understanding this is important for a woman to understand herself. Begum Rokea said a hundred years ago that woman will find the correctness and inspiration to match her.
Time has passed. Thought has also expanded. Woman will go ahead with their goals. Stand on your own feet. Establish yourself. One should occupy herself with the thought of acquiring proper knowledge to sustain human welfare and human civilization.
