“The progress of women is visible today as a result of the strong and timely steps taken by the Prime Minister for the political, economic and social empowerment of women. Bangladesh has created a role model in the world for women empowerment,” she said.

Secretary of the Ministry Kazi Raushan Akhter and Private Secretary to the Prime Minister-2 Wahida Akhter were present as special guests with Jayita Foundation Managing Director Afroza Khan in the chair.

On November 16, 2011, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the Jayita Foundation.
