Further to its observation, the Committee notes that the Bangladesh Employers' Association (BEA), in cooperation with the ILO, has undertaken a project for "the Promotion of Women in Private Sector Activities through Employers' Organizations", which is intended to increase the capacity of employers' organizations to contribute to equal opportunity policies and guidelines and to undertake gender-based training for women. The Committee notes that a number of gender awareness-raising workshops have been conducted, as well as activities to promote women's business opportunities, and requests the Government to provide information on the impact of the project on women's employment opportunities, as well as any other information on measures taken to improve further the educational and employment opportunities of women.
