In Rajshahi, women voters have become the most influential factor in determining the outcome of Bangladesh’s upcoming 13th parliamentary election. With over half of the district’s 2.26 million registered voters being women, political parties including the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami are intensifying efforts to win their support through promises of empowerment, safety, and economic opportunity. Election data show 1.14 million female voters, slightly outnumbering male voters.
Women across rural and urban areas are voicing expectations for fair wages, safety, and access to education and healthcare. Female farmers and entrepreneurs alike seek technical training, financial inclusion, and gender-friendly work environments. Jamaat’s female activists are reportedly more visible in door-to-door campaigns, while BNP’s outreach appears weaker. Party leaders from both groups claim positive responses from women voters.
Analysts note that Jamaat has built a separate organizational structure to target women voters, while BNP’s efforts remain less organized. Experts emphasize that beyond campaign promises, women expect tangible post-election action ensuring security, equal rights, and sustainable development.
