P.A.C.E, CARE International, and Better Work—to build from proven approaches, scale impact and improve efficiency.

Key Activities

  1. Analysis of legal and policy frameworks and their enforcements: Conduct a comprehensive review of Bangladesh’s GBVH-related legal and policy frameworks—including the 2009 High Court Guidelines, the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, the Labour Ordinance 2025, and the women's rights reform commission report. Assess gaps in the laws themselves, weaknesses in enforcement and implementation, challenges in access to remedy, and opportunities for alignment with international standards such as ILO Convention 190.
  2. Review of stakeholder recommendations: Analyse reports and recommendations from women’s rights organizations, trade unions, and national and international civil society actors to understand ongoing gaps, progress made, and practical opportunities to strengthen GBVH prevention, protection, redress, and accountability across the garment sector in alignment with ILO C190.
  3. Comparative analysis of global models: Review relevant international initiatives—such as the Dindigul Agreement (India), the Lesotho Agreement and the Java Agreement—to draw lessons from rights-based, worker-led approaches. Identify elements that can inform feasible, scalable, and context-appropriate legal, policy, and enforcement strategies for Bangladesh.
  4. Provide recommendations on legal/policy reforms and enforcement: Based on the analysis, develop clear, actionable, context appropriate recommendations for strengthening Bangladesh’s legal and policy frameworks on GBVH, as well as improving enforcement, accountability, and access to remedy. Recommendations should prioritize worker-centred, survivor-sensitive, and rights-based approaches.
