Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said there is no scope to deter a country’s woman from doing job in any plea as Islam has given the opportunity to the women and guaranteed their rights in the working place, reports local news agency.

The Prime Minister said this while inaugurating Begum Rokeya Day and distributing Begum Rokeya Padak-2015 at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka in the morning.

This year the prestigious award has gone to world famous fashion designer Bibi Russell and noted educationist, philanthropist and social worker Dr Taibun Nahar Rashid.

Bibi Russell was given the award for her contribution in aesthetic fashion designing with local component and Dr Taibun Nahar got the award for their outstanding contribution to spreading female education, ensuring women rights and women empowerment.

Bibi Russell herself and Ali Asgor Khurshid, son of late Taibun Nahar received the award from the prime minister.

The government introduced the award in 1995 after the name of Begum Rokeya, a pioneer of women’s liberation movement in the undivided Bengal who was a leading feminist writer and social worker during the early 20th century and mostly famous for her efforts for gender equality and female education.

The Ministry of Children and Women Affairs organized the award giving ceremony with State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Meher Afroze Chumki in the chair. Secretary of the ministry Nasima Begum delivered the welcome address at the function, while Bibi Russell also spoke expressing her feeling on getting the award.
