Summary |
Although gender relations in Bangladesh have
undergone considerable transformation, women are still struggling
with issues relating to poverty, violence, poor education and
health, poor nutrition, and low levels of participation in
decision-making. The German Government has supported the preparation
of this gender profile to enable its development assistance
programme in Bangladesh to be more responsive to gender equality and
women's empowerment. The paper reviews the gender dimensions of some
of the key drivers of poverty reduction efforts, including economic
development and growth, human development (including health and
education), governance and political participation, resource
development and the environment. It also considers the issues of
gender-based violence and trafficking. Some recommendations for
gender mainstreaming are identified in the three areas recognised by
the German development assistance programme as priorities, namely
economic reform and development of the market system, primary health
care and family planning, and energy. Summary adapted from abstract.
