== Women in Bangladesh ==
Family, and the role women play in it, are emphasized in bangladeshi society. On average, bangladeshi women are married before the age of 20. From the point of marriage and forward, a husband takes on the responsibilities that previously belonged to his wife’s father. This includes control of a woman’s education, job, and overall life. Traditionally a woman’s most important duty is bear children. However, poverty is prevalent in Bangladesh and often times women are required to work in order to make ends meet. Domestic abuse and violence against women is also widespread and under reported. Women are often beaten or even burned with acid. In more rural areas, the punishment for extramarital affairs, usually as decided by village elders, is typically death. In many cases, victims of rape have been known to commit suicide while those who do not are sometimes killed as expected by the social norms. Divorce is highly discouraged however many women find themselves abandoned by their husbands or widowed. Women are expected to refrain from remarrying and most are left to support their families alone.
The education of women has improved. In 1998 the literacy rate for men of 15 or older was 59.4% versus 42.5% for women. This gap has grown smaller as the literacy rates improved to 61.3% and 52.2% respectively as of 2010. Despite the progress made in way of female education, many women drop out after primary school as they are expected to marry.
A majority of women in rural areas work for their families and are unpaid. In urban areas, about half of women stay at home and work with their families and the other half are employed. Their occupations vary however women make up approximately 85% of workers in the textile and garment industry. Most women are paid very little in comparison to their male coworkers and sometimes as little as 20% of the wages provided to men working the same job.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From other capitalisation: This is a redirect from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to the title in accordance with the Misplaced Pages naming conventions for capitalisation, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalisation of this redirect title. This may help writing, searching and international language issues.
    • If this redirect is an incorrect capitalisation, then {{R from miscapitalisation}} should be used instead, and pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target. Miscapitalisations can be tagged in any namespace.
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when other capitalisations are in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
