3L for women empowerment
Christine Lagarde, managing director at International Monetary Fund (IMF), has recently put forward a 3L approach towards ensuring women's empowerment around the globe. The 3Ls are for- learning, labour, and leadership. She stressed the need for educating girls to make them active for performing economic activities. Labour enables women to flourish and achieve their true potential. Christine pleaded for ensuring equal pay for equal work for women. She also mentioned that discrimination in pay and status has to be eliminated. Finally, women must be given the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership ability because leadership enables women to rise and fulfil their innate abilities and talents.
While describing her 3L approach for women empowerment, Christine Lagarde put emphasis on enhancing economic role of women in a rapidly changing world for accomplishing development goals and economic emancipation. Bangladesh should follow this 3L approach to empower its women.
