I would encourage them (housewives) to actually move forward to take a more active role in the areas of politics, in the areas of commerce. Out there a lot of women, educated ones, have left the job market some time ago because of the family, taking care of the children, bringing up the children. This group of women actually can come out at this time to give a lot of assistance to those who are needy and need help.
