The Grameen Village Phone Network is a classic example of women’s empowerment in
Bangladesh. Operators of the village phones are all poor women (who have been selected
for their clean and strong credit record). These village phones are regularly visited by
members of male-dominated villages. Notably, the women entrepreneurs (village operators)
enjoy wider discretion in expending their profits from their phone services than with their
household income.
