Role of Women

Women are the inherent part of our society and cannot be neglected [অবহেলা] due to their less power and authority. They are created as a companion for men and men have to make her walk with them in the course of life. As Bangladesh is an Islamic state so Bangladeshi female’s role and behaviours are defined by Islamic laws and as such are given divine [ঐশ্বরিক] sanction [অনুমোদন]. She plays roles as a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife. They play their roles with great responsibilities in upbringing of a healthy solid society, but she is in our so called modern world, still living in chains.

The basic unit of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, family makes a home and homes make a society. Here we have forgotten that the very first and best school of a child is its mother’s lap. From behavioural to health education women have their hands in. Women are the main contributors in building up a strong society.

Arabia, in pre-Islamic ages was wrapped all over by blanket of evil deeds, wicked thoughts and immorality. Women were the most effected during that time. The new born baby girls were buried alive. With the advent [আবির্ভাব] of Islam, the women got the respect and status in the society that she ever deserved. It the woman who is a mother and Islam has taught us that “paradise lies under the feet of mother”. From this we can judge women’s respect and importance in our life and society.

In western countries men and women are working shoulder to shoulder in the same pace and both are contributing and playing their parts equally in the developmental processes [প্রক্রিয়া]. They are given basic education as well as fundamental [মৌলিক] and higher education without any restrictions from the society. That is why the West is that much developed.

Women can take part in all activities whether they belong to financial, national, international, social or domestic affairs. Women population of our country is greater than that of men population. If such a big portion of population is kept behind then it’s difficult to progress. Women are more productive than men if they are given the right platform they will smoothly carry the nation towards development.

Here the complete responsibility lies on the shoulders of the male to educate and encourage [উৎসাহিত] the females to step forward and to play their role in developmental processes. Women are not only for home-making and child-rearing but they must also be given chance to put their hands a little forward in building up of a good solid society. A good solid society is a good harbinger [সুসংবাদদাতা] of development.

In order for a society to be a pure society, both men and women should think, dress and behave in ways that allow pure thoughts and actions to dominate the way of life and create a social climate conducive [অনুকূল] to the achievement of the real goal of life.
