US Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched a $5.0 million project titled ‘Women Thrive in Bangladesh’ to empower women who are working in readymade garment factories in Bangladesh.
This project is supported by the US govt. and CARE Bangladesh will implement the project for over 100,000 women working in the RMG sector. The goal of this project is to imbue women working in this sector with leadership skills.
The USAID Thrive project will incorporate a career enhancement training module developed by Gap Inc., a US-based clothing manufacturer, and reduce gender disparities in ready-made garment factories and communities in these areas.
The project is expected to strengthen women’s advocacy and negotiation skills within the workplace and in their communities. This will advance their rights and help them overcome gender-related barriers.
USAID and CARE will work with PVH in factories and communities in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Narayanganj districts.
