"Labour Rights for Women in Readymade Garment Industries of Bangladesh: A Study"

Abstract

The readymade garment industry in Bangladesh has experienced rapid growth due to the availability of local labor. This study examines the labor rights of women in Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector, exploring the legal framework, implementation challenges, and potential solutions for promoting their well-being and empowerment within the industry. Specifically, the research delves into the existing legal protections for female garment workers, investigates the prevalence of discrimination and unfair labor practices, and assesses the effectiveness of current enforcement mechanisms. The study also investigates the discrepancies between legal provisions and actual practices, along with the underlying causes of these gaps. Furthermore, this research contributes to addressing gender discrimination issues in the workplace and promoting equity and the empowerment of women in Bangladesh's RMG sector, ultimately supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals related to women's participation in the workplace.
