We always highlight the
miseries of a woman’s life or we talks about women empowerment. It’s good to
highlight the issues, problems and violence that a woman faced on the daily
basis as weaker part of the society. But many of women we have in the society
who believed to never give up and tried harder to move ahead in the society and
succeeded in making their own identification. Last year news came from New
Zealand a country; this is located in continent Australia. Jacinda Ardern became
first youngest female Prime minister from New Zealand on 26 Oct 2017.
Women and politics
This news reminded me many of our successful female politicians of our own
country Pakistan like Muhtarma Fatima Jinnah, who was younger sister of our
founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. She was a leading member of All India
Muslim League before independence. She also emerged as a strong advocate of Two
Nation Theory. After independence she also Co-founded Pakistan Women’s
Association for the settlement of women in newly born state.
And don’t forget about Begum Ra’ana Liaquat Ali Khan who also an important part
of Pakistan Movement. She served as an economic advisor to Jinnah’s Pakistan
Movement Committee. After independence she became the First Lady of Pakistan
when her husband Liaquat Ali Khan became first Prime Minister of the state. On
15 Feb, 1973 she became first woman Governor of Sindh and Chancellor of
University of Karachi.
And of course we all know very well about Muhtarma Benazir Bhutto, who was the
first female Prime Minister of any Muslim State in the world. She was the
daughter of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. She was also a
chairperson of Pakistan People’s Party.

Success of women in Business world
A woman can also prove herself economically. In developed countries where women
workforce is actively involved in economic fields growing more rapidly. When
economies grew then definitely career opportunities also increased and social
services and development process will also be increased.
According to a report companies that are managed by women their employees are
more motivated and productivity is higher as compared to the companies managed
by men. Women are more coordinative with their employees as compared to the men
which results in the higher productivity and motivation.
Many studies proved that women are smart investors, and women can make better
financial decisions than men. A seven years study founded that a female investor
or team of female investors from any organization can make more positive and
beneficial out puts as compare to the male counterpart.
Countries that educate their women they actually educate their whole society and
make their countries stronger economically. Because when a girl will be
educated, will give benefits to the country in two ways first one is new skills
and abilities will become a part of workforce and secondly will educate her
children also. Developed countries where women are educated, economically
strong. So, if the country invests on its women then it is investing on the
future.
Child intelligence depends on Mother’s intelligence
Last year in the news a research have discussed that, biologically a mother’s
genetics can tell how intelligent her child would be.
“Women are more intelligence transmitted gene as comparatively as men because
their child always has X-Chromosomes and a woman has two of these but man has
only one.” So, here human biological structure proved that a woman has much
better ability to make her child confident, motivated, and determined as compare
to the man.
Women also played a significant role non-genetic part of intelligence, according
to some studies when a mother has a strong bond with her child then the child
feels secure and confident.
Researchers of University of Washington founds that an emotional strong between
a mother and her child is very crucial for the growth of some parts of child’s
brain. Researchers completed their research in duration of seven years. They
found a group of children related to their mothers. Researchers found that
children who were supported emotionally by their parents and their intellectual
needs also fulfilled have 10 percent larger hippocampus in average as
comparatively as children who were on the distant from their parents.
Hippocampus is a part of memory where have the ability to learn and response for
external stress. So, a strong bond with mother will give the feeling of
confidence and security.
A physically weak woman is not actually a weak part of the society, because a
woman is always being strong internally. That is the reason a woman is a mother
her primary role is to gave birth and raise her child. She always tries her best
to keep her family happy, makes her relationships strong and always motivate
them for the best that is why there is known phrasal verb that “there is always
a Woman Behind a successful man.”
Stop under estimating yourself and be strong. You are woman, a woman who is
physically weak; no problem if you have some deprivations then you have many
blessings in your life also. Always try to think about your goodness it can make
you happy and will give you potential for keep standing for yourself. So, be
confident, be motivated and determined. Don’t depend on others remember no one
will come to help you out, you have to help yourself. As we all know a famous
phrasal verb “God helps those people who help themselves” so, if you believe in
God and wants that He help you then you have to take stand for ourselves first.
