BRAC Bank celebrates 7th anniv of internal women's forum 'TARA'

BRAC Bank organised a grand celebration of seven years of its Internal Women's Forum 'TARA' that all female co-workers of the bank attended recently.

The daylong event featured various cultural performances, including music, dance, and skits, says a press release.

The 'TARA' forum started its journey in 2016 with the aim to facilitate career development and professional excellence for women bankers in the organisation.

'TARA' is Bangladesh's largest private sector women bankers' network. It also provides a platform for female coworkers to share their concerns and challenges within or outside the bank.

Nurun Nahar Begum, head of Internal Women's Forum 'TARA', delivered his keynote speech at the event held recently.

Selim RF Hussain, managing director & CEO of BRAC Bank, shared his thoughts regarding women empowerment in BRAC Bank.

The entire top management was also present.

BRAC Bank aspires to become the most women-friendly bank in Bangladesh, with TARA playing a pivotal role in achieving this goal. The forum increases accessibility to information related to careers, households, lifestyles, and other realms of women's lives.

Selim RF Hussain stated that BRAC Bank follows a zero-tolerance policy for sexual or any other form of harassment. The bank regularly sensitizes its coworkers about women's rights and safeguarding policies, he said.

BRAC Bank also provides various facilities for its female coworkers, including a daycare centre, pick-and-drop service, a conducive work environment, and approachable management, the CEO said.
