We received nominations from several incredible women shaping Bangladesh’s apparel industry— spanning manufacturing, retail, sustainability, design, technology and social impact and the stories of their impact blew us away. Beyond their achievements, these leaders also shared inspiring messages to drive change. We hope you love reading these stories as much as we loved putting them together!
