LAHORE: On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif paid tribute to women in Punjab and around the world in her special message.
She said, “I am not only the first female Chief Minister of Punjab, but I am also the voice of every woman who has been suppressed.” She added that the daughters of Punjab are no longer weak; they are now a strong arm of the state and builders of the nation rather than victims.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif said that women in Punjab are being empowered in every sphere; from education, security and healthcare to leadership and policymaking. She emphasised that women are no longer just statistics but are being transformed into policymakers, protectors and thinkers.
The chief minister stated that under her leadership no one would dare cast an evil eye on any daughter of Punjab. She declared that the daughters of Punjab are her “red line,” and there will be no compromise on their dignity and protection. She further said that women in Punjab are being encouraged not only to dream but also to turn those dreams into reality.
