Mahbub: “Bangladesh has come a long way; it has experienced rapid growth and development in the past decade. Yet, women are underrepresented in leadership positions across all sectors. Improvement is a slow process. Though there have been visible changes across the industry, it is mostly up to garment factory owners to act upon the notion to create safe and better working conditions for the workers in their factory.”
