This book is a comprehensive research publication dedicated to reducing gender inequality and empowering women's rights in Bangladesh. Drawing from a wide range of academic studies, policy reports, and on-the-ground data, it explores the multifaceted barriers women face in various sectors including education, employment, healthcare, and political participation. Bangladesh, despite its progress in female leadership at the national level, continues to grapple with deep-rooted cultural norms, economic disparities, and legal limitations that hinder the full realization of women's rights. The research aims to identify both the systemic and situational challenges that perpetuate gender-based discrimination. It critically analyzes the existing laws and governmental programs meant to support women, highlighting their strengths and shortcomings. Special attention is given to rural women, garment industry workers, and marginalized communities, whose struggles are often overlooked in mainstream narratives. Furthermore, the book provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, NGOs, and community leaders to implement inclusive reforms that can bring about long-term change. Empowerment is approached not just as a policy goal but as a social necessity, emphasizing education, economic independence, legal awareness, and access to healthcare as critical areas for intervention. By amplifying the voices of Bangladeshi women and presenting evidence-based solutions, this book serves as both a scholarly resource and a catalyst for social transformation toward gender equality
