SRINAGAR: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari Saturday envisaged the vast and pivotal role for women in bringing a positive change in every sphere of life in any civilized society.Bukhari was addressing a women convention of Apni Party district Srinagar, organized at the Party office in Lal Chowk Srinagar. “Like any other part of the civilized world, the women in J&K have a lead role to play and can become a catalyst of change, right from their homes upto the Government level,” Bukhari said, while enumerating the role of women in the Apni Party.The Apni Party president, however, observed that women empowerment is impossible unless the Government works for their quality education and makes them economically empowered. “The Government must take all the requisite initiatives to encourage women to pursue academics and make their presence felt everywhere,” Bukhari remarked, adding that a sustained campaign is required for making women empowered and economically self-reliant.Addressing the convention, Party’s senior vice president Ghulam Hassan Mir said that Apni Party is committed to work for empowerment of women in Jammu and Kashmir. “In any society, we know ladies are equally important as the men. Right from upbringing of children and taking care of other family members to playing a lead role in any Government or private sector, women have proved their mettle in almost every field in today’s competitive world,” Mir observed.He said that ladies can effectively reach out to the unemployed youth and the underprivileged sections of society by way of disseminating different welfare schemes launched by the Government from time to time.Speaking on this occasion, Jeela Rafiquee, educationist and prominent political worker stressed on the Apni Party women wing to disseminate various women welfare schemes among the economically poor ladies and young women who want to be entrepreneurs to carve out a niche. “Women in J&K are second to none, provided they are made aware and given opportunities at an appropriate time”, she observed.
