abstract: 'Labor markets are still heavily gendered everywhere, even when women''s
participation in the labor market is greater now than at any other time
in history. Existing research shows poor women''s participation in the
informal economy is higher than men''s in many parts of the Global South.
However, this is not the case in Bangladesh. Poor Muslim women''s
participation, particularly where they require access to public space,
is lower than men due to persistent patriarchal norms, reflected in
social and religious expectations of women. Drawing on interview data
with female street vendors from a slum in Dhaka, this article explores
the dynamics of social and religious norms that constrain poor Muslim
women''s access to public space to earn income. This article contributes
to the literature on gender, religion, and work by highlighting that the
parochial realm offers a safer space for operating businesses without
breaking social norms and by arguing that poor Muslim women experience
social and religious barriers rather than legal ones. Non-legal barriers
are more amenable to change as a result, which is important for
empowering women.'
