Bangladesh is one of the poorest, least developed, and most densely populated countries in the world. The people of Bangladesh are facing serious problems. There is a high maternal mortality rate of 600 per 100,000 births. Women in Bangladesh live in an unequal society. Violence against women is widespread inside and outside the home.
Nutritional levels are lower for females than for males.
Because of legal discrimination and high illiteracy rates, women have little access to credit and few inheritance rights under the law. Because of illiteracy, women's opportunities for improving their status are extremely limited. You can help women in Bangladesh through Women for Women International's program funds. By contributing you can help support women's job skills training and civil society reconstruction coursework, the expansion of the Sponsorship Program to match more women in need with Sponsors, and the country offices that run the programs.
