These guidelines have been prepared as a tool for conducting participatory discussion and analysis on the social position and condition of men and women within the context of the Union Parishad regional structure in Bangladesh. The participatory exercises are meant to help participants to reflect upon their experiences of gender inequality at the family, community, and Union Parishad level. The overall analysis serves to identify issues that the Union Parishad and the Standing Committees can address to improve gender equity in the Union.
