Women at work
That a woman has to be twice as good to get half as far has been a popular sentiment for near about a century, and sadly, it remains as pertinent and true today. Phenomena like the pink tax, the wage gap are evident in most countries, but these are just two of the more recognised and easily observable issues facing women in the workplace, but a larger aspect has been the effects that the larger society’s attitude has on the lives of individuals, which is much more evident in the case of women.
There are multiple aspects to the barriers women face when they decide to work out of the house, be it for need or simply to pursue passions. Despite those facts, it remains true that Bangladesh has in fact come a long way towards female empowerment. The intentional push to enrol more female children to school by making it free, to making workplaces more inclined to recruit more women, to making child care services more available, and an overall improvement in visibility for female leadership has all contributed to this improvement.
