Will further advance govt initiatives for women, children: Simin Hossain
The main task at hand is to carry forward the steps taken by the previous government for the development of women and children, said newly-appointed State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Simin Hossain (Rimi) on Sunday (14 January).
"There will be an action plan. But it won't be for a hundred days or anything like that. Because it is a work in progress. That's how we will move things forward," she told reporters on her first day in office at the Secretariat.
"I will carry forward the works that are ongoing in the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs. I have been working with women and children for a long time. This is my preferred area of work," she also said.
