Read the story

A UN Bangladesh report published on 27 September described a 30 August workshop with 24 participants, organised by UN Women Bangladesh and AYAT Care.

They discussed the Women’s Empowerment Principles and workplace examples such as parental leave and flexibility after maternity leave.

The focus included helping women remain at work and move into leadership, not only recruitment. Company examples did not announce new national leave laws.

Editorial correction, 26 October 2026: We corrected factual wording and chronology after checking the sources below. This is a retrospective archive review; the original publication date is retained.
