The NSSS prioritizes gender equality by supporting social assistance schemes targeting women in fragile situations and fostering policies to facilitate women's entry into the labour market. Despite advancements, gender equality indices remain low, with women less active in the labour force and more likely to be unemployed. Against the backdrop of existing power and dependency relations, a lack of social protection hits women particularly hard. The action links to the country's gender-responsive policies (e.g. the 2011 Women Development Policy) and with key findings and recommendations of the EU Delegation's gender analysis. The action will promote equal access for women and men to social protection by focusing on the Mother and Child Benefit Programme and the unemployment benefit programme in the export-oriented sectors like RMG, where workers are mainly women. Moreover, the support to further develop a workers' database will facilitate inclusive targeting and promote women workers' maternity rights. Finally, as co-chair of the Local Consultative Group on governance and social protection, the EU will engage in multi-stakeholders' policy dialogue to identify and tackle the gender and social norms perpetuating unequal access to social protection schemes by women and girls."}, {"bbox": [96, 1465, 245, 1492], "category": "Section-header", "text": "### Human Rights"}, {"bbox": [96, 1492, 1134, 1598], "category": "Text", "text": "Social protection is a human right that tackles poverty, reduces inequalities, promotes human development, and boosts economic growth.
