In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, The Ever Merciful

I am here to reveal the secret of progress, to show the underground reality of

development and to tell about stealthy truth of success.

Yes, my topic of speech

“Empowerment of women holds the key to country’s development”

Allah creates all the creatures; the earth, the sky, the moon, the sun, the hell, the
heaven, the angels and the spirit but chooses man as his vice and puts the crown of honor on
his head, among all the people he declares His Prophets the more successful persons and
among all prophets He selects as the most successful personality, the Holy Prophet Hazrat
Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH).

And When this triumphant personality starts his work, his body shivers on the occasion
of the first revelation. There was none except an empowered woman who heightened his
morals, gave him courage, healed his heart, comforted his soul and assisted him in bringing a
revolution for the betterment of humanity.

Yes Mr. President, Yes

“Behind every successful man, there is a strong, wise and
hardworking woman”

So, to be introduced ourselves as a successful, progressing and developed nation we

have to empower our women. They are in equal proportion in our country. We have to take
initiative. We have to talk about this serious issue. We cannot attain success and advancement
without empowering them.

“Empowering means moving from enforced powerlessness

to the position of power”

Our History is full of such brave, bold, courageous and great women who proved that
their presence is undeniable, irrefutable and indisputable for the betterment of society.

Islamic Revolution, French Revolution, West Revolution, Chinese Revolution and

Pakistan Movement, All these got success, Popularity, fame, and acceptance because in
foretold movements, women were empowered economically, socially, politically, religiously,
and environmentally.
In his oft-quoted speech of 1944, Quaid-e-Azam clearly said,

“No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side
with you. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our
 women are shut up within four walls of houses as prisoners. We cannot achieve our
objectives without empowering them.”

Miss Fatima Jinnah, Begum Rena Liaqat Ali, Begum Jahan-Ara Shahnawaz, Begum
Waqar-un-Nisa and in the current era Ayesha Ranjha and Ayesha Mumtaz Proved valiantly that
M. A. Jinnah was right.

Napoleon asserts,

“Give me good mothers I Will give you good nation.”

Fortunately, we, as a Pakistani, are fertile in this regard. But the need is to empower
them. And education is the key source to strengthen women with knowledge, skill and self-
confidence. Sustainable development is only possible when women and men enjoy equal
opportunities to reach their potential. Investing in women and girls’ education is one of the
most effective ways to eradicate poverty, illiteracy, corruption and a lot of vices of the society.

If we want to emerge as a successful and developed nation on the map of world, we

have to believe in the truth that
“Empowerment of Women Holds the Key to the Country’s Development”

Thanks all
