Professional women in Bangladesh often face interruptions in their careers, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Around 75 percent of them leave the workforce mainly due to family responsibilities and motherhood, according to an applicants’ survey conducted by BRAC.

BRAC’s Chief People and Culture Officer Moutushi Kabir shared the findings at a media briefing yesterday at BRAC Centre Inn in Dhaka’s Mohakhali.

The information was taken from data provided by 1200 applicants, who applied for the BRAC’s Bridge Returnship programme.

BRAC has relaunched the programme to support professional women returning to the workforce following a break.
