President Md. Sahabuddin commented that the success of Bangladeshi women around the world is exemplary and should be followed.

In a message given on Thursday (March 7) on the occasion of International Women's Day 2024 on March 8, the President said that as a result of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's strong leadership, far-reaching thinking and implementation of correct policies, despite economic, social and natural adversities, Bangladesh has experienced incredible prosperity, development and growth in various socio-economic sectors. The success of Bangladeshi women around the world is also worth emulating and following today.

The President said that Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had taken necessary steps to ensure the overall development and empowerment of women and to uphold the dignity of men and women in the constitution made in 1972. Following the footsteps of the Father of the Nation, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has created a strong position in the advancement and development of women in economic, political, social, educational, medical and security.

She said that in addition to the government, private and socio-cultural institutions should also come forward with various development projects for the development of women. I think that this year's theme of International Women's Day - 'Equal rights of women, investment to advance opportunities' has been correct.

The President said that with the aim of equal rights, equal opportunities and fair development of women in Bangladesh, the government has formulated and implemented the National Women's Development Policy-2011 as a development plan policy and strategy. Prevention and Protection of Family Violence Act 2010, Prevention and Protection of Family Violence Rules 2013, Prevention of Child Marriage Act 2017, Prevention of Dowry Act 2018, DNA Act 2014 and National Action Plan for Prevention of Violence against Women and Children 2013-2025 have been formulated to promote the development and empowerment of women in Bangladesh. It will be a milestone.

He said, "It is my hope that Bangladeshi women's journey will go beyond the borders of the country to the international arena with the hands of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina."
