PM stresses daycare centres at shopping malls, office buildings
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said directives have already been given to ensure arrangement of daycare centers for kids during construction of shopping malls and office buildings.
The premier said this while visiting the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs at Bangladesh Secretariat.
Noting that sustainable advancement of the country could be ensured through the development of women and children, she urged the womenfolk of the country to prepare themselves to contribute equally alongside men for rapid progress, adds UNB.
“Women would have to contribute equally alongside men for taking the country ahead speedily and for this, the women have to prepare themselves, gain their rights for which each and every woman would have to gain capacity,” she said.
Terming the females as daughter, wife and mother in the society, she said that such dignity of women would have to be established in every sphere of the society. “Changing the mentality of males is a crying need in this regard and the change will have to begin from the family.”
Hasina underscored that all would have to come out of the ‘hypocrisy of talking for the freedom of women on one side and carrying out torture on them on the other.
She said women of the country would have to be more enthusiastic and keep trust and faith in their own ability. “They will have to secure their position in the society through their own quality and the government will extend all sorts of support to this end.”
The prime minister said that her government has been implementing massive programmes for the development of women and children as well as working for the development of rural women alongside the urban women.
