Abstract
- Women have made substantial gains in health, education, and political representation in Bangladesh, which has been led by female prime ministers since 1991. Women play a key role in the garment industry, the country's main export sector, and entrepreneurial ventures funded by microcredit loans have also boosted women's empowerment. But entrenched patriarchal norms have pushed back against these changes, limiting women's mobility, their presence in public spaces, their sexuality, and their reproductive choices.
