ABSTRACT | ||
This article discusses in detail Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's contribution to the spread of Muslim women's education and various aspects of her life of struggle. She realized that lack of education was the main cause of women's degradation, degradation and social backwardness. Therefore, she dedicated herself to the movement to spread women's education with the aim of awakening self-awareness, self-esteem and sense of rights in the female community. The 'Sakhawat Memorial Girls' School' he founded emerged as an important educational institution for Muslim girls in Kolkata, which included subjects such as Bengali, English, Urdu, home management, and health care, in addition to religious education. The article also highlights that Begum Rokeya had to struggle against various social obstacles, prejudices, conservative mindsets, and religious bigotry in the path of expanding women's education. Although some sections of society viewed his initiative negatively, he moved forward with determination and courage. Despite the school's financial crisis, lack of qualified teachers, and social obstacles, she sustained the institution through his personal finances and tireless work and gradually took it forward on the path of progress. Special importance has also been given to her philosophy of education, where she did not only want to produce women with degrees, Therefore, it can be said that Begum Rokeya's relentless efforts, sacrifice and foresight opened a new horizon in the expansion of women's education in the Muslim society of Bengal. Her contribution is established as a unique and memorable chapter in the history of women's awakening. | ||
