Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus praised the resilience of women during the July uprising, stating that they stood “like the Himalayas” against fascist forces and deadly weapons. Remembering the female martyrs of the movement, Dr. Yunus emphasized that women still face many obstacles today. “The government remains committed to women’s economic empowerment through financial aid for underprivileged mothers, training programs, microcredit initiatives, working women’s hostels, and daycare centers,” he said. The Chief Adviser also highlighted efforts to curb violence against women, including the introduction of hotlines and updates to the 2010 Domestic Violence Act. Additionally, a Women’s Reform Commission has been established to further safeguard their rights.
