Women leaders in the industry highlighted this during a recent gathering titled ‘Women’s Night,’ held at the Gulshan Club, in capital Dhaka.
They expressed that the journey of women entrepreneurs in the garment sector has been far from being smooth.
The event, organised ahead of the upcoming election of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), saw the participation of female members of the BGMEA board, as well as spouses of former BGMEA presidents and current board members.
During the meeting, women leaders highlighted the challenges faced by the lady entrepreneurs, shedding light on issues related to business management, expansion, and overall participation in the garment industry.
Despite their growing presence, women entrepreneurs continue to grapple with various forms of discrimination and obstacles, hindering their progress and potential contribution to the sector’s growth, the women leaders said.
The event served as a platform for women entrepreneurs to voice their concerns and advocate for greater support and inclusivity within the garment industry.
