Concept of weaker gender is a thing of yore: Allama Ahsan Siddiqui

Interfaith Commission for Peace & Harmony (ICPH) chairman Allama Ashan Siddiqui has felicitated women on the International Women’s Day, saying that women are equal partners of men and that the concept of weaker gender is a thing of yore. 

“Women hold up half the sky, yet their contributions to society remain undervalued and their basic rights restricted around the world. Faith communities can influence increased women participation and safeguard education for girls,” Siddiquie said.

“The Mission of Interfaith Commission for Peace & Harmony (#ICPH) Albaraka Welfare Trust International (#ABWTI) Women’s Empowerment is to educate and empower women who are homeless with the skills and confidence necessary to get a job, maintain a healthy lifestyle, educate their children,” he said.

“We extend festive greetings and best wishes to the country’s women of all ethnic groups and from all walks of life ahead of the International Women’s Day, We salute all the hard-working women on the front line, and we wish them all a very happy International Women’s Day,” Ambassador at Large for Global Peace & Human Rights, Chairman, Interfaith Commission for Peace & Harmony (ICPH), said in a statement.
