Governor S. Abdul Nazeer described women’s empowerment as more than just a symbolic phrase—it is a promise to unshackle society, paving the way for an equal and representative democracy that integrates all citizens into the mainstream.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the two-day national conference on parliamentary and legislative committees on ‘Women’s Empowerment,’ which concluded here on Monday, he recalled the high regard for women during the Vedic period and subsequent eras in ancient India. “Opportunities for women in spiritual, literary, and intellectual domains were immense,” he said, reading out a verse to underline that disrespect and harassment of women can cost society dearly.
