Bangladesh's progress in improving women's lives and gender equality is acknowledged. The background outlines the historical low social status of women and the existing gender disparities in education, marriage, and the workplace. The statement of the problem identifies the research's objective to examine barriers to girls' education and explore how education can promote gender equality and women's empowerment. The significance of the study lies in its potential to contribute to policy-making and gender discourse. The objectives of the research include assessing the current state of gender equality, examining the link between education and empowerment, identifying barriers to girls' education, and analyzing education's role in challenging gender roles. The research methods involve a literature review and qualitative data collection through interviews and observations of key stakeholders in Bangladesh. This discussion focuses on the status of girls' education in Bangladesh and the challenges it faces in achieving gender equality and women's empowerment. While progress has been made in increasing female literacy and enrollment, economic vulnerability, patriarchal norms, and limited access in rural areas continue to hinder girls' education. The study emphasizes the importance of women's empowerment and the positive impacts it has on individuals, families, and society as a whole. The recommendations include implementing gender-sensitive policies, raising awareness, engaging communities, providing financial support, and improving educational infrastructure to ensure equal opportunities for girls in Bangladesh. Achieving these goals will contribute to the overall development of the country and foster a more inclusive and equitable society.
