yes Women has an important role in running day to day life at home and family. But she should not confine to four walls as there is vast opportunity for women to lend their hand for the betterment of society but at the same time they should not forget their family values. their husbands should support them whole heartedly if it is required women to work for the betterment of society, contest local elections or involved in church and social activities which will benefit the people in general. HATS OF TO YOU WOMEN. YOU ARE GREAT!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Wishing Sthree Sangatan all success... |
