\nHe said, ‘We don’t want any war.\u00a0I am not only a woman politician or a prime minister but also a mother I request world leaders to stop this war.\u00a0Stop this weapon game.\u00a0This is an arms race.’<\/span>
\nThe Prime Minister said, today we see the ravages of a war across the world.\u00a0Ukraine-Russia war including Israel’s attack on Palestine.<\/span>

\nHe said, if there is a war, if there is an arms race, our women and children suffer the most.\u00a0They suffer more.<\/span>
\nReferring to our various experiences, he said, ‘In 1971, the Pakistani Army took my father prisoner.\u00a0Then the mother was imprisoned.\u00a0He was in detention along with his younger sister Rehana and younger brother.\u00a0Even she was pregnant at that time.<\/span>
\nHe said, ‘We had no furniture, there was no guarantee of food.\u00a0So I have experience of the terrible conditions that arise during war.’<\/span>

\nEarlier, Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the Joyita Foundation program on November 16, 2011 with the aim of economic empowerment of women in Bangladesh.<\/span>
\nIn the meantime, the government has allocated one bigha of land to each section of the country at a nominal price.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nPointing out that the Father of the Nation emphasized on the economic independence of women, the Prime Minister said that rights should not be called rights.\u00a0The right will be only when the woman can enter the house with 10 rupees.\u00a0In other words, if they can achieve economic power, girls do not have to wait for anyone – this is what her father said.<\/span>
\nHe said that his government, along with the development of the country, has established women’s rights, has provided protection by providing death penalty for rape and acid throwing, has also made laws to protect women from violence, and confirmed the identity of father and mother in the case of child identification.\u00a0Also, the government has provided allowances for poor mothers, elderly women, widows, widows to make their lives meaningful.\u00a0In this budget, women friendly budget has been given in 43 ministries.<\/span>
\nPrime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, our efforts are to establish the rights of women in all areas.\u00a0By forming the government in 1996, we formulated the Women’s Development Policy.\u00a0But unfortunately we could not come to power in 2001.\u00a0After Khaleda Zia came to power, she canceled all the rights of women.\u00a0Because, he formed the government with Jamaat-e-Islam.\u00a0As a result, their 20-party coalition stopped women’s rights.\u00a0After Awami League came to power again in 2009, we are again formulating policies and implementing them.<\/span>
\nSheikh Hasina said, our girls will go to all fields starting from administration.\u00a0I have made them OC, SP, judge.\u00a0Many have raised questions about this during SP posting, but I have not heard it.\u00a0We have reserved seats and posts for women in every place.<\/span>
\nHe said, the first person who embraced Islam was a woman.\u00a0Khadija, the wife of our Prophet (PBUH).\u00a0Who helped spread Islam.\u00a0Who has done business as a woman, supported her husband, then why should women be housebound now?\u00a0Yes, with modesty will go everywhere.<\/span>
\nThe Prime Minister said that her younger sister Sheikh Rehana has encouraged women to create a separate chamber for women entrepreneurs.<\/span>
\nThe Awami League president also said to the women that they have made so much progress today because they voted in boats.\u00a0I can take the country forward with women.\u00a0Take care that our progress continues.<\/span>
\nReiterating the call to increase overall production by bringing every inch of uncultivated land under cultivation in the country, he said that the economy has been under pressure due to the impact of the global corona outbreak and war.\u00a0Commodity prices have increased.\u00a0Ship fares have increased.\u00a0For this, I call upon the brothers and sisters, who have the opportunity, to cultivate themselves.\u00a0If we plant ourselves, we can meet our needs.\u00a0I will earn my own money, stand on my own feet. \u00a0<\/span>
\nHe said, my mother gave strength and courage to my father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib by her side.\u00a0He used to say to his father, you will not worry.\u00a0My mother has seen everything to make us study and take care of the family.\u00a0Even while her father was in prison, my mother played a role in the organization of the movement as well as his efforts to release him.<\/span>
\nReferring to his mother’s historic role in accelerating the country’s independence, the head of government said, ignoring the opinion of big leaders, his mother did not respond to the proposal of the father of the nation to participate in the parole talks during the Agartala conspiracy case and even did not budge even during the historic six-point period. .\u00a0He also said that it was on his advice that the Father of the Nation delivered his historic speech on March 7, not taking the opinions of Nana Muni but from the thoughts he had for the people.<\/span>
\nSheikh Hasina said that the father of the nation sacrificed his life to free people from deprivation.\u00a0Imprisoned many times.\u00a0He gave us freedom.\u00a0On his call, the people of this country won the war of liberation.\u00a0He has started the socio-economic development of the people of this country.\u00a0His mother always encouraged him from side and gave her life with the father of the nation.<\/span>
\nHe said, we have established Joyita Foundation to empower women and create employment opportunities for women.\u00a0I made this tower for the exhibition of products produced by women.\u00a0The land of Ganabhaban is blessed today, skilled and successful women entrepreneurs from remote areas have come here.<\/span>
\nThe Prime Minister said, when men could not come down on the streets, our women leaders and workers were on the streets in the agitation and struggle by enduring the persecution of BNP-Jamaat.\u00a0He also remembered with respect the women who sacrificed their lives in the movement and struggle, including the woman leader Ivy Rahman, who was killed in the 21st August grenade attack.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
