Abstract

Bangladesh relies heavily on remittances from migrant workers, who face difficult and sometimes abusive working conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced their opportunities. Chowdhury Dilruba Shoma argues that initiatives by the government, NGOs and financial institutions can counter exploitation, prevent violence against workers (especially women) and maintain this source of income vital to countries like Bangladesh.
