Women in Bangladesh are the quiet engines of family and community life. They run households, stretch scarce resources, care for children, and often add income through informal work. They are reliable, resourceful, and determined—yet opportunities can be limited by norms that prioritize boys’ schooling and girl’s early marriage.
When girls get proper high education, ability becomes opportunity: individual economic independence becomes possible, and their role in the family becomes more relevant. Both the household and the community gain. That’s why WEB invests first in girls’ and young women’s education.
