<div>In preparation for WikiWomenCamp and the sister conference open to people of all genders for discussing the gender gap (we'll get a name chosen and do a formal announcement soon!) , we're writing and asking for your assistance in writing about the involvement of and content related to women on Wikimedia projects from around the world. Today, we're looking at Bangladesh. If you can help improve this, please do. Many thanks to Tanvir, WM-BN's secretary, for providing insight into what is going on. </div>

Those that they do have do not contribute on a consistent, regular basis; they edit sporadically. In Bangladesh, women often attend events by the Chapter and others in the country. There are female participants who attend every meet-up. Most of the time, these are new faces and there is a problem in getting the same women to consistently show up to events in order to build up a regular base of active female participants. Currently <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Bangladesh" title="Wikimedia Bangladesh" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(6,69,173);background-image:none;background-color:initial;background-repeat:initial initial">Wikimedia Bangladesh</a> has no female members in the board.
