This enlightening event delved into the intricate strategies requisite for fostering a nurturing economy that equally empowers both paid and unpaid care practitioners across Bangladesh.

The conversation zoomed in on the particular hurdles women encounter in Bangladesh, where there’s not enough access to things like roads and hospitals, making it harder to do caregiving jobs. And because of traditional ideas about men’s and women’s roles, girls often have to do care work instead of going to school or getting good jobs, making things even tougher for them.

Distinguished representatives from esteemed institutions including the British High Commission Dhaka, Australian High Commission, CARE Bangladesh, Swisscontact, ActionAid Bangladesh, Manusher Jonno Foundation, the Asia Foundation, Pathfinder International, mPower Social, AYAT Care, Bolipara Nari Kalyan Somity (BNKS), and Southeast University convened to deliberate on strategies aimed at catalyzing investments and enacting policy reforms within the sphere of the care economy.
