The Minister of State for Women and Children Affairs, Fazilatun Nesa Indira, has said that Bangabandhu and Bangladesh will never be able to separate. There are sculptures in this country there will be sculptures. The government will decide whether there will be sculpture or not. But the people of this country did not give permission to fundamentalists who do anti-religious work in the name of religion not to have sculptures in their hands.
State Minister Fazilatun Nesa Indira made the remarks while addressing a workshop on ‘Engagement of the mail for gender equality: Sustained impact and changes in Southwest Bangladesh’ jointly organized by US Aid and World Vision at the Secretariat from Bangladesh here on Monday.
“We see sculptures in many Muslim-majority countries, including Iraq, Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey,” he said. He strongly condemned the threats by fundamentalist parties to demolish the Bangabandhu sculpture.
Fazilatun Nesa Indira said that those who set fire to mosques and temples, perform antireligious acts, burn the faithful who come to the Ijtema World and the people in the moving houses do not obey the word of religion. Those who do not believe in the values of freedom and the spirit of the liberation war threaten sculpture. The minister of state warned that the 2 lakh sacrifices of mothers and sisters and the blood of 3 million martyrs will have no place on the soil of Bangladesh.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister of State said that the analysis of the Nature Division shows that men are considered as winners of society. Women do housework but their work is not evaluated. Men must do housework as much as women work outdoors with challenges. In a family where husband and wife work together, there is economic prosperity. Through which women are empowered.
UNESCO Country Representative Shoko Ishikaya and Bangladesh Aid Program Lead Specialist Mahmuda Rahman Khan spoke as special guests under the chairmanship of World Vision Bangladesh National Director Suresh Bartlett. In addition, researchers, representatives of local and foreign development organizations and media personnel also spoke, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Women’s and Children’s Affairs.
Discussing the research paper presented at the workshop, the minister of state said that the Navayatra project is being implemented in the Dakop and Koyra areas in the Khulna and Shyamnagar and Kaliganj areas in Satkhira. There have been positive changes in family decision-making, women’s participation in work outside the home, and child marriage. Of 9,614 couples, 69.35% of men think that it is very important for women to make decisions in the family. That was 43.30% of the reference survey. 44.18 percent of men think that it is normal for women to leave the house for work and in case of emergency. That was 17.30% of the reference survey. 92.75 percent of men think that men also need help with household chores.
“I hope that grassroots women are empowered through more extensive work on this issue,” she added. The earlier women are involved in all economic activities, the faster the country’s development will be achieved.
