Shafeen Mustaq introduces her book Financial Empowering of Women in Bangladesh through Microcredit.

Microcredit is the extension of very small loans (microloans) to those in poverty designed to spur entrepreneurship. This book outlines how microcredit has provided village women in Bangladesh the opportunity to gain communication and interpersonal skills, independence and a position of authority within the family environment. It has motivated them to grow and develop skills which allow them to proceed onto skilled labour and open up new avenues of opportunity.
