In Bangladesh it is generally accepted that men will lead the important ministries, so the women appointed to these posts must be experienced, knowledgeable, competent and capable to avoid negative perceptions among the people about the quality of women's participation. Further, these women have impacted on the social implications of policies with respect to health services, child care, poverty alleviation, dowry problems, violence against women and girls, and community development. Moreover, when planning for city development the women take into consideration the physical environment of communities and the quality of life, without excluding the art and culture of the various communities.
