‘𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀’ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 The business landscape is changing. COVID-19 pandemic aside, perspectives toward ‘traditional’ ways of doing business are changing. What’s more, there’s evidence to suggest that ladies are playing an outsized role in shaping this way forward for the business. In this situation, Meta, once known as Facebook, is now extending its # SheMeansBusiness agenda to Bangladesh to provide women entrepreneurs with the skills, connections, and technology needed to build and grow their businesses online. This program was launched in partnership with the ICT Division’s Aspire to Innovate (a2i) program, the Bangladesh Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BWCCI), and LightCastle Partners. Selima Ahmad MP, President, and founding father of BWCCI said: "Successful women entrepreneurs contribute to their families’ well-being and therefore the country’s economy. We are excited to figure with Meta to empower more women in both urban and rural areas with skills and resources in order that they can lead by example." Beth Ann Lim, director of Policy Programs and Government Outreach for the Asia Pacific and Global Head of # SheMeansBusiness at Meta, said: "Every day, we see women entrepreneurs crushing odds and coming online to build their businesses. This not only changes their lives and communities but also has an overwhelmingly favorable impact on the economy. We are excited to bring our # SheMeansBusiness program to Bangladesh as a part of Meta’s commitment to support women-owned businesses and help propel the country towards a more equal, inclusive, and digital future." #SheMeansBusiness is now active in 38 countries around the world. Meta and its network of partners have trained quite a million women globally. #studentjournalist #woman #womanempowerment #whatson
