Bangladeshi politics has been dominated by two women for decades; current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the leader of the opposition, Khaleda Zia.Despite this, women's rights have largely been ignored.One reason why so many women remain voiceless is because so few of them are represented in the rest of the political arena.Al Jazeera's Shamim Chowdhury reports from Dhaka.

Gender inequality doesn’t make sense on any level. Promoting gender equality can reduce extreme poverty and hunger and boost shared prosperity for girls and boys, women and men, around the world.

Caritas Australia is working in Bangladesh to improve health care for mothers and their babies, advance women’s rights, and help with urgent environmental problems.
