There is a lot of talk about the wonder of women or girls, about protecting them. In practice, these ideas are not always confirmed. Harsh treatment of women, oppression with no end in sight, and bans on their education are a clear proof of my above words.
Of course, the opposition to women’s education is hard to ignore. Unfortunately, in some families, the rude attitude of a girl to a child, a woman to a man as a simple housewife, and in some families to show the righteous to their elders, makes a person’s mind rush. In fact, it should be mentioned that our women and girls are responsible as well as men.
They are also given suggestions, obligations, and duties. If a woman does not receive education, it is difficult for her to fulfill these duties and feel responsible for her responsibility in the Day of Resurrection. As stated in our holy book: <<O you who believe! “Save yourselves and your people from the fire of hell, keep them.” It is known that one can avoid hellfire only with knowledge.
Our righteous people, who have deeply understood the meaning of this word, are creating conditions for acquiring both worldly and religious knowledge. It should be noted that there is no verse or hadith in which it is not necessary for girls to get knowledge, it is not necessary for women and girls not to get knowledge, it is not necessary for them to stay at home and be busy with housework and raising children.
It should be understood that the thinking of every woman who is removed from spiritual life and restricted in the way of learning begins to narrow, her personal thoughts, world view, become wrapped in a certain shell. Everyone who opposes the education of women should first ask themselves, “Doesn’t the deterioration of the level of mothers deprive us of our hopes of growing a knowledgeable community for the future?” should be able to ask this question.
As Allama Abdulhamid Ibn Badis said; “If you educate a boy, you educate a person. If you educate a girl child, you will educate the whole ummah.”
Therefore, why in today’s society do they set limits on the aspirations of a girl child in the path of knowledge. The girl is mentally oppressed. As our Prophet said, “Learning is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman.
A woman of knowledge is the pillar of the nation. Nowadays, wide and convenient opportunities are being created for women to learn.
On March 1, under the chairmanship of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a video selector meeting was held on the issues of the support system for our women and further strengthening of their position in society.
After this video selector, spiritual freedom entered the lives of our women. Two thousand girls were admitted to higher education on the basis of a separate grant. In order to increase the number of female scientists in our society, a target quota of at least 300 was allocated for women in the field of doctoral studies every year. From the new academic year, for the first time, seven-year interest-free loans were introduced for girls to pay for education contracts. For this, 1 trillion 8 billion soms will be allocated to banks from the same seminar day, and 8 trillion soms will be allocated in the next five years. The President’s proposal to organize the “Smart Women” movement was the main factor for women and girls to learn. In his speech at this seminar, Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasizes that:”This movement should become the “conscience of the neighborhood”. Because an enlightened society cannot be built without enlightened mothers”
The following words gave real strength to all our women. After the seminar, the actions of our women and girls began to be felt in public affairs. Every society and every person should realize that: “Learning is not a choice of a person, race or profession. A man does not separate from a woman.” “Getting knowledge is also a duty. It is the duty of every Muslim to fulfill the obligation.
