PEW dissatisfied over women development initiatives
Islamabad: [Feb 26]
The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said empowered women make nations resilient nations and strong coming generations.
Studies show that all the members of a society are benefited when women are supported, it said.
Families are healthier, educated and balanced while productivity improves and incomes increase when women are given authority, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
Speaking to business women after inaugurating second day of Spring Festival organised by Lubna Shahbaz, he said that empowering women is key to change and essential to achieving the objective of poverty eradication.
Expressed dissatisfaction over initiatives to reduce the gender gap, he demanded more allocation to improve living of women as they continue suffer in the formal and informal sectors of the economy.
Different cultural practices in rural and urban areas are nothing but systematic discrimination to women, he added.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said women plays vital role in development of households, society, and the country but their role has always been underestimated.
Only educated and empowered women can guarantee uniform development of the country, he stressed.
He said that women are gifted with unique talents which are being underutilised at every level. Women can play a very active role in economic revival of country if they are given opportunities.
Delivery of national goals cannot be achieved unless growth of women is seriously focused, he said.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal lauded the organisers of expo saying such creative events provide opportunity, help expand relations while boosting the role and confidence of women entrepreneurs.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that many NGOs and business chambers are focusing urban women while rural women who deserve more attention are being ignored.
He said that business women have not focusing on introducing brands while some critical sectors also need their attention.
Pakistan women are facing many economic, political, social, cultural, religious, personal, psychological, and emotional issues but they have the potential to get their skills recognised in this challenging environment, he said.
Investing in underserved women's health and education is good economics, said Dr. Mughal.
