In the opening remarks Dr. Rahat Zubair Malik hinted about the significance of the month of March for raising voice for the rights of women and celebration of International Women’s Day.
She hinted that being a Muslim Society, we have a comprehensive value system where every day is women’s day as we respect and love females as Mothers, Sisters, and Daughters. But still there are certain points that need to be focused as we need to learn which expressions are derogatory and must not be used.
