Regarding the empowerment of women, the information minister said that women are far ahead of men in the workplace. By calculating it can be seen that about 5% of the world's work is done by women.

And because half of the world's population is women, development of the world is not possible without them. Hasan Mahmud said the state has also brought linguistic changes to bring equality. Now in the name of women can also be used Mr, which was not before. The president is written instead of the president. Women are moving forward in our country like all the world. Many senior ministries, including senior officials of the country, are now women. After independence of the country, Bangabandhu created women's seats in parliament. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has completed the implementation of the progress of the woman, which began with her hands.
