Abstract
Identifies religious and cultural factors affecting attitudes towards, and behaviours of, female workers in Bangladesh. Discusses the role of government, non‐governmental organisations and the private sector in moving beyond this history and tradition to a state where female workers are accorded equal rights with regard to education, health, employment prospects and an acknowledgement of their role in society.
