SOCIAL ISSUE
Being a girl from an orthodox Muslim family, I am concerned about the education and future of girls like me. Unlike the men, they are never advised to get a job and be financially stable before getting married, which makes cooking and preserving a so called 'Muslim wife' culture their primary objectives in life. I have felt, once you have a dream you can go for it but what if you don't know that you have all equal rights to live a dream life. I would like to let these underprivileged girls know that they have a choice.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I would like to connect with girls from my locality, empower each other by sharing our experiences and discuss the need of being financially stable before we have somebody to depend on us. Entrepreneurship, confidence building sessions and programs that would connect these ladies with the ones who work around the world will help in bringing up their ideologies. Creating some opportunity for the unemployed women in my locality will bring smiles on so many faces I have seen in these 23 years.
CONCERNS
I have a lady in my house who always wished to become financially stable and support her children when needed. Many factors like lack of support, knowledge and problems in execution had contributed to this situation. I know a lot of ladies who wish to be financially stable and I am myself one. Knowing the problems faced by all these women, I am concerned about the people they are grown up to inside their communities.
