For gender equality in the textile industry in Bangladesh
published in May 2024
In Dhaka – the hub of global textile production – Proparco is partnering with a major player in the sector in an innovative way. As well as creating permanent jobs in an industry dominated by seasonal employment, a highly original technical assistance programme financed by Proparco is improving the health and education of employees. It's a win-win solution: the company benefits from healthier and loyal female employees who are less likely to be absent from work.
We report from the Ananta plant, where 1,112 women have received training through the RISE legacy programme HERhealth.
