Karmojibi Nari is not only a woman organization in the conventional sense; rather an organization of women-workers striving to establish rights, dignity and authority of women workers along with women and laborers. This is ever first of its kind in Bangladesh; KN is fighting relentlessly and advancing with success in a view to liberating women movement from the domination of aristocracy and upper class and labor movement from the domination of patriarchy through upholding the agenda of women workers as they are the vanguard for social changes in Bangladesh. In this regard KN has been implementing various projects for the Readymade Garment Workers in Bangladesh. As an activist?s organization, KN also built up awareness of the cell members to increase the capacity and skills to deal with violence against women in family, community and working places since its inception.
