Gender inequality in Bangladesh : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gender inequality in Bangladesh
While gender inequality has been improving in Bangladesh, inequalities in areas such as health, education, employment, and political freedom remain ongoing problems. In 2013, Bangladesh was ranked 142 out of 187 countries on the Human Development Index and 115 out 149 countries surveyed on the Gender Inequality Index.〔(United Nations Development Programme, Human Development Index (HDI) )〕 Many of these inequalities are result of extreme poverty and traditional gender norms centered on a patrilineal and patriarchal kinship system.〔 ==Gender norms==
Bangladesh is one of seven countries of the world where the number of men exceeds the number of women. Eighty-eight percent of the population adheres to Islam.〔 Veiling and adherence to purdah remain domains of contestation in regards to whether they serve as vehicles of empowerment or discrimination. While seen in Western discourse as restrictive of women's rights, some claim that burkas allow for better freedom of movement in Bangladesh. Despite the changes that have come with the demand for women in the export industry, women are generally unseen outside the domestic sphere. This is especially true in rural Bangladesh. While labor force increase has accounted for higher percentages for females than males, terms of equality are measured in various areas beyond employment. Their status and position is also measured in terms of education, income, assets, health, and the role they play in the family and in society. These characteristics are representative of the amount of political power and social prestige a woman is accorded and thus the extent to which she can influence decision-making within the home and in the community.〔United Nations, CEDAW combined 3rd and 4th periodic reports, 1997〕
