The half of the total
population in our country is women. They play an important role to establish
peace and build the nation. Our women folk joined the nation building
activities hand by hand with their male partners after the independence of
Bangladesh in 1971. It is undeniable
that most of the noticeable changes in our country would not be possible
without the participation of our working women. Women are now contributing to
the society economically and politically. By receiving higher education, they
are now working as engineers, doctors, teachers, civil servants, pilots, and
above all politicians. Not only the educated women who are contributing to the
economy of the country but also the women with little or no education are
coming out from their cocoons to work and contribute to the society. The
holding of the office of the prime minister by women for five consecutive times
proves that the role of women in Bangladesh is very important. Now they are not
only running state affairs but also representing public opinions at the
parliament. They are also holding key position in the national activities and
even getting involved in armed forces. It is unfortunate that in the past the
activities of women in the family were not appreciated at all. Rather, they
were neglected. They were confined in household activities and rearing up
children. In our male dominated society, it was thought that women were born to
do household chores and to obey their husband. But the situation is changed
now. They are working together with men, increasing their family income, and
becoming self-reliant. Now their husband and other male persons of the society
are realizing that without the involvement of women, true development of a
nation cannot be possible. We must not forget the famous saying that one woman
is the cause behind every development.
