The Role Of Women in the Development Work of Our country

Women are now-a-days as important as men in society. They constitute nearly half of our total population. Earlier women were kept confined within the four domestic walls. They had then very little area to play their role. Now the environment has changed greatly. Our national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam praises women for their taking part in progression of the world. He says that what is good, great and prosperous for a country is done half by men and half by women. There can be no denying the fact that they too possess equal rights and duties as men do. They have noble missions to fulfill as men. If they get opportunity, their genius, power and capabilities will bloom fully. No nation can make real progress keeping a half of its population in the dark without the upliftment of women. Though belated, women are now participating in the development of our country. They are taking part in different occupations. Garments are the most contributing industries in the development of our country. And 90% of the garment workers are women. A large number of our women work as construction workers. Being educated, women are stepping into various official jobs. Women have also proved their worth as social workers, business entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, teachers, journalists, bankers and what not. They are also working in defense with great care and sincerity. In our country both the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition party were women for the last 15 years. It is no doubt, a very significant phenomenon. So, we hope that the active participation of women   will enhance our development and go a long way towards alleviation of poverty.
