Mr. Jinnah on Women’s Empowerment
Blackstone celebrates the birthday of our dear founding father, Mr Jinnah. We pledge to upholds the values of our leader with full sanctity and pride, from his speech in Lahore at Jinnah Islamia College for Women on 25th March 1940;
"I have always maintained that no nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take with them their women.
No struggle can ever succeed without women ever participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world. One is represented by the sword and the other by the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both. That is the woman.
...But I do mean that man must be made to understand and made to feel that woman is his equal and that woman is his friend and comrade and they together can build up homes, families and the nations."
