Women's Participation in Bangladesh Politics edit
Women's participation in political decision-making is critical for both achieving gender equity and promoting development[1]. However, Bangladeshi women face a double marginalization: they hold a subordinate position in all aspects of life, and even within the political sphere, their influence is minimal[2]. Understanding this marginalization requires examining the extent of women's and men's participation across various institutions. Traditional societal divisions between public and private spheres significantly restrict women's involvement in political processes[3]. Consequently, few Bangladeshi women hold leadership positions in central and local governments, or even within administrative structures. This lack of access to decision-making positions translates to minimal impact on policy development, management, and implementation [4]. Increasing women's role in decision-making is therefore crucial for their empowerment and for achieving broader societal progress[1].
