Women's rights in Bangladesh are like a myth. It only exists in documents and in the words of some specific people, but you will rarely find that in real. According to World Report 2009: Bangladesh, ''Discrimination against women is common in both public and private spheres. There are few women in decision-making positions and women generally are paid lower wages than men. Maternal mortality rates remain extremely high, despite significant improvements over the past 20 years. Domestic violence is a daily reality for many women and dowry-related crimes are reported to increase.'' It's true that Bangladesh is a developing country and things are changing day by day, but the changes are in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) only. Women and women's rights will only be practised in Bangladesh if there is a revolution. Till then R. I. P. Women's Rights of Bangladesh.
