Today 12 April 2025, Advisor to the Ministry of Social Welfare and Women and Children Affairs Sharmin S. Murshid said, “After taking charge under the leadership of the interim government, under the leadership of Professor Dr. Mohammad Yunus, we have been working for the development of this country and nation. We all know how far the previous fascist government had distanced itself from the people of this country, which led to the creation of this July Revolution.” She said, “Most of the youth who were on the streets during the July War were women. Not only that, but women were also at the forefront in the Liberation War of 1971 and the mass uprising of 1924.” She said this in her speech as the chief guest at the Women’s Entrepreneurship Association’s Eid reunion and New Year’s Festival-2025 at the Cosmopolitan Club in Baridhara, Dhaka today. The event was chaired by Shizan Khan, President of the Women Entrepreneurs Association, and special guest speakers included Farzana Khan, Deputy Managing Director of the SME Foundation of the Ministry of Industries, Salma Khaled, President of the Gulshan Ladies Community Club, and other leaders of the Women Entrepreneurs Association. The advisor said that the slogan of the young generation during the July War, ‘Victory of Merit, Not Quota’, speaks volumes about the mismanagement, corruption, and oppression of the previous government. He said that the new Bangladesh was born because the young generation stood up against the oppression, injustice, and corruption of the fascist government. He further said that if the political culture of this country does not change, the young society will once again take to the field and they will wake up. Who will suppress the young people of Bengal, they are not afraid to die. He said, we must remember, those of us who have been given responsibility, that we must not forget that we have to work for the development of the country and the nation by looking at the blood in the chest of these young children, those who gave their lives. He said, through the coordination of the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs and Social Welfare, measures have been taken to make 50 lakh girls self-reliant through various professional training, and arrangements have been made for girls to be trained in sewing, crafts, as well as scientific mind training.
