In line with that women are now often driving cars, have jobs, and are also found in those facets of life, where our patriarchal society only pictured males as suitable candidates.

From brazing sacrificial cattle in the cattle market for selling to rescuing people from fire; women have managed to do it all and to say that we are amazed by them all is an understatement.
In addition, Parveen urges women to take part in rescue services also. She insists and encourages them to take part in rescue services the same way as they do in nursing and medical care. Hence, they shouldn’t hesitate and be proud of this profession.
In the end, all we can think of is how amazing it is to see the prosperity in women. After living under the influence of patriarchy and backward thinking. It is about time women get up and stand for their rights; and also prove that they are brave, strong, and confident in tackling all the issues that they face.
