The Women Entrepreneurs Association of Bangladesh (WEAB) is going to organize a three-day international trade fair for women from March 6.
More than 200 entrepreneurs from all over the country and some foreign entrepreneurs will participate in the trade fair, scheduled to be held at the capital's Gulshan Shooting Club from March 6 to 8.
Nasrin Awal Mintoo, president of the WEAB said this in a press conference held at the organisation’s office on Sonargaon Road in the capital on Monday.
The fair will be open for all from 10 am to 8 pm every day. The fair will showcase exotic handicrafts, traditional clothes, designed fabrics, aesthetic jewelry, and various creative products made by women entrepreneurs.
She said that the special attraction of this year's fair is the July Corner, which has been created in honor of the women who played a role in the July Uprising. Through this corner, the courage and contribution of those women will be highlighted.

The WEAB president said that this fair will play an important role in women achieving financial independence and establishing themselves as entrepreneurs.
This will not only empower women economically but will also further accelerate their contribution to society, she pointed out.
She said a drawing competition will be organized with three hundred students from different schools in the capital to ensure the participation of women and children during the fair.
