Professor Ali Riaz, Vice Chairman of the Consensus Commission, emphasized that constitutional recognition of gender equality is essential to properly honor the significant role women played in the July uprising. Speaking at a dialogue with political parties at the Foreign Service Academy on Monday, he welcomed the proposal to declare July 14 as "Women's Day of July" and noted that women's strong participation accelerated the anti-fascist movement. He also called for broader female representation in Parliament and the formation of a bicameral legislature.
