Prez Murmu calls for independent decision-making, equal opportunities
NEW DELHI (Maha Media): President Droupadi Murmu on Monday said that true empowerment of women can only be achieved when they are able to make independent decisions, live with self-respect and have access to equal opportunities and security.
Addressing the event ‘Sashakt Nari, Samriddh Delhi’, organised by the Government of NCT Delhi in the national capital, the President highlighted the growing achievements of women across sectors while underlining the need to remove persistent barriers.
“Today, women are excelling in every field. As soldiers, they are protecting the nation’s borders. As scientists, they are conducting research in laboratories. In sports competitions, they are raising the Indian flag on international platforms,” she said, adding that women are reaching new heights in politics, social service, administration and business.
She also noted the rising number of girls among students receiving degrees and medals at convocations across the country, describing it as an inspiring trend. However, the President pointed out that women continue to face challenges such as violence, economic inequality, social stereotypes and neglect in healthcare.
“The goal of women’s empowerment can only be achieved by removing these obstacles. A woman will truly be empowered when she has the ability to make independent decisions, can live a life with self-respect, and has access to equal opportunities and security,” she said. An empowered woman, she added, can transform not only her own life but also shape the direction of society and future generations.
