Short 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
