Present Scenario of Women Empowerment in Bangladesh
=============================================
=============================================
Empowerment is the process of giving power of authority to the powerless. Empowerment of women is a process through which women in general and poor women in particular get the opportunity to join the workforce and contribute to family income and interfere on family as well as social affairs. Present Scenario of Women Empowerment in Bangladesh is as follows:
.
1. In parlament:
In the last general election, out of the 69 female members of parliament (MPs), 50 were appointed through reserved seats and 19 directly elected, including the Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition, speaker of parliament. While it is imperative to ensure reserved seats for women in the national parliament, female MPs have voiced their concerns on the lack of election financing and overall party support.
.
2. In ministry :
Women are working in all ministry such as Ministry Of Commerce, Ministry Of Planning, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry Of Information, Ministry Of Cultural Affairs, Post and Telecommunication Ministry etc.
.
3. In local government:
We find a new generation of women elected officials who are now respected and seen as figures of authority in their local areas. One of the major milestones in Bangladesh’s history in women’s empowerment was the enactment of the Local Government (Union Parishad) Second Amendment Act in 1997 that provided for direct elections to reserved seats for women in local level elections.
.
4. In job sectors:
They are working hand in hand with men in all spheres of work i.e. from garments workers to pilots, doctors, engineers, teachers, administrators etc. Almost 85% of 4 million workers of RMG that is account for 76% export earnings are women. The Ministry of Education and The Ministry of Primary And Mass Education apply a quota system for recruiting women teachers: 30% for government higher secondary schools. 40% for private higher secondary schools, madrasas and colleges within pourashava, 20% for institutions outside pourashava, and 60% for primary school teachers.
.
5. In education:
Government of Bangladesh took up the ‘education for all’ campaign with a strong focus on girl children’s education. The stipend programmes for girl children at first in the primary level and then for secondary and higher secondary levels are considered a global best practice that achieved dramatic results in gender parity of education.
.
Conclution:
Finally, it has come to the realization to all that During the last few decades women’s status has been changed greatly. Today women are playing important role in all spheres of life.
