Description:
(Please provide a short description of the project in 150 to 200 words describing the project's objectives, results achieved, and impact generated.)
While women significantly contribute to household incomes, they often encounter challenges when making financial decisions. Their access to and control over their earnings tends to be limited due to various factors, including societal norms and a lack of experience, which can contribute to lower confidence levels. It is common for women to entrust their earnings to family members such as husbands or fathers, resulting in minimal say regarding allocating those funds. Additionally, some men in these households appear to lack awareness or willingness to engage in planning and saving.
Recognizing these challenges, the Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) is committed to implementing initiatives designed to elevate women's status in both the domestic and professional spheres.
