Ithighlights that although women in Bangladesh have historically faceddiscrimination and exclusion from development, a small but growing numberhave entered various professions such as teaching, government service,NGOs, and healthcare. Despite constitutional guarantees of equality, womenremain underrepresented in high-competition sectors due to societal and structural barriers.
