The Crucial Role of Women in Nation Building [ENG-URDU]

How Nations Form and Agree on Ideas

How do individuals of any nation agree on a single idea? How does a nation come into being? How do education, awareness and understanding develop within a society? Do these qualities appear on their own or do they require effort, struggle and consistent work? And what is the method behind this?

Today we will discuss these very questions. If we dream of calling ourselves a trained and responsible nation, we must admit there is no shortcut. No miracle will suddenly transform us into a community of high morals. It requires consistent practice, preparation and an understanding of the initial stages. Without understanding these steps, reaching the heights of progress is impossible and we may not even understand the psychology of developed nations. The first thing to understand is where the process of “individual building” begins. The foundation of any society starts with the home and family, and the central pillar of the home is the women. We must strengthen this pillar so the home remains stable and so that progress becomes possible.

Women’s Relief as a Key to National Progress

Dear readers, the dignity, respect and ease of women is not only a matter of their personal rights but also a guarantee of the success and stability of the entire social system. Here I would like to give a suggestion. If we provide relief to women, they will be able to better manage their homes and raise the next generations. Today we will discuss why this relief is important, what its reasons are and what its positive or negative results could be, because in our view the progress of a nation is connected to the woman. When she is given relief, only then can she perform her assigned responsibilities in a better way.

If we talk about the basic responsibilities of women in the East and the challenges they face, we will find that most women here perform multiple roles. They take care of homes, raise children and nurture the next generations. But the pressure of modern life and society has made their work extremely complex. Workload, financial worries, domestic conflicts and social restrictions make them mentally and physically weak. In many societies women are deprived of their basic rights. They are kept away from education, healthcare, employment and decision making. This injustice becomes a barrier to their growth and indirectly becomes a barrier to the progress of the entire nation.

Consequences of Neglecting Women’s Rights

These same women, under the pressure of society, domestic responsibilities and family expectations, lose their self confidence. Neither do they recognise their own abilities nor are they allowed to discover them throughout their lives. In many places women face domestic violence, social mistreatment and psychological harassment, which badly affects their dignity and morale. Now tell me, with such damaged mental and physical health, how will they raise the next generations?

Remember well, we claim that national progress is linked to the woman and the way to achieve this is by giving her relief so she can perform her duties properly. Relief does not only mean financial or legal help. Relief means creating an environment where women are respected, their rights are honoured and they are given complete freedom and ease to fulfil their responsibilities. They should be provided with facilities that take care of their mental, physical and social well being.

Benefits of Empowering Women

Only after all this can women contribute to society with full confidence and raise the next generation properly. The children raised in their care will become a trained and responsible nation. When women are given relief, they become happier, more satisfied and more independent. The home environment becomes peaceful. When women feel safe and stable, they can give better education and training to their children which then contributes to national progress. Empowered women can also improve their own and their family’s economic condition. Relief boosts their confidence, allows them to speak up for their rights and makes them agents of social change.

A National and Social Duty

But if women are not given this relief, the consequences will be terrifying. Their stress will create tension in every household and the family system will begin to collapse. Oppression and injustice will spread hopelessness among women which eventually gives birth to social unrest. Then how will we dream of becoming a developed nation? Imagine if a mother is mentally and physically weak or abnormal, then what kind of upbringing will she provide to her children? What kind of psychological issues will her children face? This leads the society towards destruction.

Respected readers, these are the severe consequences that arise when the role of women is removed from society. If we do not stop this in time, progress will become impossible and whatever development we have achieved will be washed away. Women are the most valuable asset of any society. Providing them relief, protecting their rights and making life easier for them should be the first priority of every community.

Through relief not only will the personal lives of women improve but prosperity, progress and stability will spread throughout the society. Remember, a happy society is one where women are given respect, dignity and ease so they can manage their homes and raise an educated, strong and confident generation. When we provide this peace to our women, we will finally understand how nations are formed, how individuals agree on a collective idea and how awareness grows along with education.

Therefore providing relief to women is not only their right but also a national and social duty that every individual, institution and government must fulfil seriously.
