There are many reasons of disempowerment of women in Bangladesh. Of them the following reasons are the most important
(i)Eonomic readons
(ii) social-culture and religions reasons
Majority of the women of our country have not any economic freedom. from there but till death they depend on men. Though many of the women specially the rural women perform the job of rearing ducks and hens. post harvest activities etc., nobody gives any credit for them. They are regarded as liability of the family, until and unless they will be given economic freedom, women empowerment will not be possible

Women are nowadays as important as mean in socity.They constitute nearly half of our total population. so, there can be no denying the fact that they too posses equal rights and duties as men.They have nobel mission to fulfill as men. If they get opportunity, their genius and capacities will bloom fully. No nation can make the real progress keeping a full half of it's population in the dark. So women empowerment is essential.
some practical measures should be taken for the empowerment of women. The women should be made conscious of the fact that they have got all the potentialities to participate in the socio-economic and employment. It should also be ensured that at workplace women get their disirable and just wages against their contributions.The social prejecdices that exist regarding the Girls must be changed.
During the last few decades women's status has been changed greatly. Today women are playing important role in all spheres of life.Many of them have come out of the kitchens.They are working hand in hand with men in all sphers of work i.e.from garments workers to pilots, doctors, engineers, teachers, administers etc.
