I hope you will support us in our endeavors aimed at women empowerment amply reflected in Quid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s words:
“There are two powers in the world; one is sword and the other one is pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the Women.”
جُرأت ہے تو افکار کی دنیا سے گزر جا
ہیں بحرِ خودی میں ابھی پوشیدہ جزیرے
کھُلتے نہیں اس قُلزُمِ خاموش کے اسرار
جب تک تُو اسے ضربِ کلیمی سے نہ چِیرے
(بال جبریل)
