The other half

In the last three decades or so, the Bangladeshi woman has shattered the social boundary and the collective stigma and now walks as equal to men. She is the other half of our economy, our society and our family.
On Sunday, 8 March, 2015 the world will celebrate International Women's Day – an occasion that brings issues related to womanhood in the limelight. This week Star Lifestyle focuses on the many facets of the Bengali women.
Nileema Huda Khan writes about her commuting woes in public transports. With economic freedom comes the liberty to be on her own, Mehereen Aziz focuses on the traveller within every woman.
Also read the Centrefold by Aziz on the neo traditional Bengali belle. In addition, Maheen Khan writes about her latest collection made for the fashionista and Maya contributes their take on women's contraceptives and reproductive health.
So here is to womenhood, in all its glory!
