Women’s
Contribution to the Development of Bangladesh
The
women of Bangladesh are playing an important role in the country’s development.
Of late, they have come to the surface. Although their role in the domestic
work is not recognized, it has been estimated that it is worth one hundred
thousand taka a year. Despite there being no estimate of how much they
contribute to the GDP, their emergence is quite evident from their role. They
are now working both in the rural and urban areas. In the rural areas, they are
working in the farms. They are working as NGO workers. They are also working as
teachers, ANSARs or VDP members. They have become entrepreneurs both in the rural
and urban sectors. They are opening beauty parlors, shops, poultry farms,
fisheries etc. They are joining the armed forces and the police. They are
working as news presenters, journalists and athletes. Women are working as CEOs
in industries as well. They have treaded the path of ICT earning foreign
exchange for the country. Millions of women are working in the garment sector
which brings us huge foreign money. Thousands of women are working overseas as
domestic workers. They play an important role in building our foreign reserve. So
there is a revolutionary change in the role of women. Their contribution cannot
be ignored. We can certainly boast of them.
