 note = {The issue of women empowerment is a scorching focus for centuries all around the world. Although Bangladesh has progressed much in empowering women for the last few decades, the journey continues. However, the progress is still slow, and more challenging in pivotal judicial positions. In this backdrop, the purpose of the paper is to highlight the key progresses and challenges faced by women in legal profession (judges and lawyers) in different tires of the judiciary of Bangladesh. By reviewing published And unpublished reports on women's participation in Bar and Bench, and interviewinghonourable judges, lawyers, women activists, and women lawyers' organisations, this paper examines the major impediments that female lawprofessionals are confronting in their functions effectively. While keeping the prospects and challenges in mind, this paper further attempts to visualise the formative scenario of the performance of women professionals' judges and lawyers) and proposes the probable way-out for their development in this field. As perceived by women professionals in the judiciary, the major hurdles that still restrain their empowerment in the judiciary are a lack of proper balance between socially defined family role, and their aspiration for career progression. Lack of funding for awareness building, adequate training and ensuring proper work environment for women professionals (judges and lawyers) further aggravate the issues., Departmental Bulletin Paper, 論説},
