On International Women’s Day, BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman took to Facebook to advocate for women’s empowerment, gender equality, and progress. He acknowledged three extraordinary women in his life—his mother, wife, and daughter—stating that they have been his greatest inspirations. “I have always strived to ensure every opportunity, success, and happiness for them,” he wrote. He further expressed confidence that many others share the same sentiment. Rahman emphasized that every woman deserves the same dignity, protection, and opportunities as men. He also highlighted BNP’s initiatives, such as the ‘Family Card’ program, SME loans for female entrepreneurs, and various educational and vocational training projects, as key efforts in promoting women’s empowerment.
