Domestic workers in Bangladesh are among the most under-valued yet essential contributors to the countryโ€™s economy.

They support households across the country, enabling working professionals and stay-at-home family members to manage daily responsibilities, while also contributing to the daily care of children and the elderly. Despite their critical role, many domestic workers, particularly women and girls, remain among the most invisible and least protected members of Bangladeshโ€™s labor force.

They are often excluded from the digital financial strategies across the country.
