Speakers at a programme on Monday urged the women of the country to continue fight for their empowerment and gender equalization.
They said women’s participation in some sectors is significant which should spread in all other sectors.
‘Women Entrepreneurs’ Association (WEA) Bangladesh’ has arranged an award-giving ceremony among successful women entrepreneurs at a city hotel under the banner of ‘Pledge for parity’.
Presided over by the President of WEA, Nasreen Rob Ruba, the programme was attended by a former advisor to the caretaker government Rokeya Rahman as the chief guest.
WEA Vice President Nadia Binte Amin, Secretary General Faria Islam Haque, Treasurer Rebeka Abedin and Director Aysha Shiddika were present at the programme, among others.
“Success of women in some sectors like education and teaching is better than the men. We want to see such success in all other sectors for
a real women empowerment,” said Rokeya Rahman. She said, “More than 2.0 million people across the country are now fighting for their existence and honour with the help of micro credit. Other women should also join hands with them.”
While commenting about the award winning entrepreneurs, the former advisor said, “I salute your relentless try for honour and success.”
Nasreen Rob Ruba said the award giving ceremony is an honour to all the women in the day of ‘World Women’s Day’.
“This award is an honour to all the women those who are trying to establish themselves in the society and fighting for their rights and dignity across the globe,” she said.
“Our fight for gender equalization will continue until achieving the final goal,” the WEA president said.
She said the association members have attended different national and international fairs and proved their capability. “Our attempt to participate in such fairs will continue.”
In the programme, Rokeya Rahman and Nasreen Rob Ruba jointly handed over crests to ten successful women entrepreneurs for their outstanding performance in business and women empowerment.
All the award-winning entrepreneurs are members of WEA. According to WEA president, the number of awards will gradually be increased and non-member entrepreneurs would also be included in the list of yearly recognition.
The winners of this year’s awards are: Khadiza Afzal, Nasreen Zamir, Tootli Rahman, Shireen Q. Datta, Shaheen Khan, Geetee Billah, Nasreen Khan Anni, Afsana Ahmed, Roushan Ara Mahmood and Rezina Nasren Cynthia.
