ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: As the ice started melting between Pakistan and Bangladesh strained relationships, speakers at a seminar stressed the need for initiating a new chapter of bilateral ties between two Muslim Countries.
Dr. Moonis Ahmar, Meritorious Professor, Department of International Relations, University of Karachi said that Pakistan is always the first one to take initiatives for strengthening Pakistan-Bangladesh relations, but little reciprocity is shown by Bangladesh. Therefore it is high time for Pakistan and Bangladesh to let go of the past and work together for a progressive future.

Garment Workers Are Now Being Educated in Bangladesh So They Can Go to College
Jan 18, 2021
One of the first lessons those who sew garments for mass markets learn is that they must follow the pattern. It’s a tedious, repetitive process with little margin for error and less for change.
So too, do the lives of countless women who toil at this work follow a pattern. In countries such as Bangladesh, while many daughters dream of pursuing studies that would ultimately lead to alternative careers, without the wages they contribute, their families simply cannot get by.
It’s estimated that 60 to 80% of the garment workers who create goods for such outlets as Walmart, H&M, Next, Gap, Marks & Spencer, and Target are women. While their male counterparts have traditionally been groomed for management positions, the educational divide meant girls were destined to toil at factory jobs for low wages in unsafe conditions because they had no other option.
