Pakistan is a great blessing for all of us. Our forefathers struggled hard for the achievement of Pakistan under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Great leaders from all over the sub-continent were in the forefront in the fight for freedom and our women stood side by side with them. They went from house to house to raise funds for the Pakistan Movement, to prepare and encourage their men to make sacrifice for the attainment of Pakistan and to organise meetings and processions to attract the attention of the world to their great cause of independence. 
In Punjab, Lady Maratab Ali formed Women?s Committee and enrolled hundreds of women as its members. Fatima Begum, a very brave and learned educationist was General Secretary of this Committee. The committee organised many meetings in the Punjab, some of which were addressed by Quaid-e-Azam personally.
Miss Fatima Jinnah made untiring efforts in looking after Quaid-e-Azam and helping him in every way. Miss Fatima Jinnah, Begum Muhammad Ali Johar, Begum Shah Nawaz, Lady Haroon, and Begum Salma Tassadduque Hussain addressed huge meetings throughout the province to educate the common man about freedom movement. Begum Rana Liaqat Ali Khan, the
wife of the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, was another prominent leader. She travelled far and wide in the country to organise and address meetings to encourage the political workers.
The following interesting incident will show how bravely and courageously, women fought for independence.
When Pakistan Movement was in full swing a brave Muslim girl "Sughra Bi Bi", jumped over the seretariat gate and hoisted the Muslim League flag.
During the civil disobedience movement women like Begum Shah Nawaz, Fatima Begum, Begum Kakaa Khal, Miss Hassan Ara Hafeez Ullah and others were lathi charged and tear gassed and put behind the bars. When they were released from jail on 29th February, 1947. When they were protesting on the railway bridge in Peshawer, the driver of the train did not stop the train. The women lost their balance, fell down from the bridge and were seriously injured.
We cannot forget these brave women who put up a heroic fight for the achievement of Pakistan and without their active participation it would not have been possible to realise the dream of Pakistan that the grat poet Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal had seen many years before.
