If women want a change....
Thuihla Mong Habibur Hall Rajshahi University
The gap between the rich and poor has long been a problem for Bangladesh society. Women in particular occupy a weak position socially and tend to be the ones who suffer most from the poverty divide. "In Bangladesh, the old fashioned view that a women's place is in the home is most firmly rooted among the lower income classes, which make up almost 45 percent of the country's population". This attitude has made it difficult for impoverished women to gain employment, and is one of the reasons for their low socioeconomic status. Women in Bangladesh need vocational training and economic empowerment to escape the poverty trap.
