“As we mark this significant occasion.

Today, we gather to commemorate a milestone in our journey towards empowering women and promoting gender equality.

Your resilience, determination, and courage have inspired us to strive for a better world.

“This year’s theme is particularly relevant, as we recognize the vital role that Muslim women play in shaping the future of our communities. Their contributions to education, healthcare, and economic development are invaluable, and their leadership in promoting social justice and human rights is a beacon of hope for all of us.

Hajia Medinat had described Muslim Women as source of strength and inspiration to the communities regardless of challenges faced.

“They are leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are shaping the future of our world. And as we celebrate their potentials, we are reminded of the importance of creating a society that values and empowers all women, regardless of their background or faith.

As we celebrate the achievements of Muslim women, we also acknowledged the challenges they’re facing. We recognized that they often face unique obstacles, including cultural and social barriers, that can limit their opportunities and hinder their progress.

She challenged the women to stand bold in their quest to bringing about positive change to the society.
