e-Commerce is an emerging sector in Bangladesh and already women are playing a very critical role in this sector. Majority of the online shoppers in Bangladesh are women. Women’s clothing, fashion accessories are top selling items in e-Commerce followed by electronic gadget. Women living in big cities especially, Dhaka, leads a very busy life. Many of them are job-holders. They have to take care of their families as well. Hence, e-Commerce is a blessing for them.

e-Commerce also created opportunities for many women who want to become entrepreneurs. At present, there are 67.245 million Facebook users in Bangladesh.

More than 10 thousand female entrepreneurs are selling a wide range of products and services through Facebook pages. Many female entrepreneurs are also selling products from their online stores. Unfortunately, many of these entrepreneurs will not be able to sustain their businesses due to lack of necessary knowledge and training.

Women & e-commerce Forum (WE) addresses the needs of these female entrepreneurs. WE’s goal is to help the female e-Commerce entrepreneurs to sustain their businesses and empower them.
