BNP Chairman and Honorable Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today inaugurated the Sahapara Canal Re-excavation Program at Kaharole Upazila in Dinajpur, marking the beginning of BNP’s election pledge to excavate 20,000 km of canals within 5 years. Through this initiative, irrigation facilities will expand, agricultural productivity will increase, and rural livelihoods will improve.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all women in Bangladesh and across the world. This year’s theme, 'Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls', is both timely and deeply meaningful. It reminds us that the advancement of women cannot be secured by words alone. Rights must be protected in practice, justice must be felt in everyday life, and action must bring real improvement to the lives of women and girls. For Bangladesh, this message carries special importance. Women are not only half of our population; they are the strength of our families, the foundation of our communities, and an essential force in our national progress. Their contribution is visible in every sphere of life - in the home, in education, in agriculture, in industry, in public service, and in leadership. No nation can achieve balanced and sustainable development unless women are empowered to participate fully, live with dignity, and move forward with confidence and security. It is in this broader national vision that the Family Card holds such significance. This is a pioneering initiative, not only in design but in purpose. By issuing the card in the name of the mother or female head of the household, it recognises a simple but profound truth: in countless families across our country, women are the main pillar of resilience, sacrifice, and care. They carry the responsibility of holding families together through hardship, managing limited resources, and safeguarding the well-being of children and elders alike. The true value of this initiative lies in what it can mean for ordinary people. For a woman facing economic hardship, direct support can provide a measure of financial security and dignity. For a household living close to poverty, it can offer stability in uncertain times. For children, it can help protect nutrition, education, and health. When support reaches women directly, it strengthens not only the individual woman, but the entire family unit. In this way, the Family Card can become a powerful instrument for reducing vulnerability, easing the burden of poverty, and creating a more secure social foundation. That is why the Family Card reflects the spirit of this year’s Women’s Day theme so clearly. It speaks to rights, by affirming the place of women at the centre of family and national life. It speaks to justice, by seeking to support those families who bear the greatest economic burden. And it speaks to action, by translating commitment into practical assistance that can improve daily life. Women’s empowerment must not be understood in narrow terms. It is not only a matter of representation; it is a matter of human dignity, social balance, and national development. A stronger woman means a stronger family. A stronger family means a stronger society. And a stronger society means a stronger Bangladesh. On this International Women’s Day, let us renew our collective commitment to building a Bangladesh where every woman can live in safety, walk in dignity, and contribute with full confidence to the future of the nation. Let rights be meaningful, justice be visible, and action bring lasting change to the lives of all women and girls.

To foster the socio-economic empowerment of women, the Mother of Democracy, Begum Khaleda Zia, introduced free education for girls up to the 12th grade. This was a revolutionary decision for the empowerment of women in Bangladesh. ​ Continuing that legacy, the current government has launched the 'Family Card' to ensure the economic empowerment of women. The government remains committed to ensuring the active and effective participation of women across all sectors, including education, economy, healthcare, and politics. ​Tarique Rahman Honorable Prime Minister Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh 07 March 2026 #PM #TariqueRahman #KhaledaZia #BNP #WomenEmpowerment #FamilyCard #EducationForGirls #EmpoweredWomen
