She stated that whether they are teachers or officers, social workers or entrepreneurs, scientists or artists, labourers or farmers, often our sisters make their place in the outside world while fulfilling day-to-day household responsibilities and struggling hard. “When all the women empower each other, our society will become stronger and more sensitive,” she said.
