Bangladesh is holding elections in two days. For the first time in decades, no major party is led to the polls by a woman. Women make up half of Bangladesh’s voters but less than five percent of the candidates. Despite a new generation of women entering politics, the gap between voters and power appears to be widening. With insights from DW Special Correspondent Nimisha Jaiswal, and Sohela Nazneen from Britain’s Institute of Development Studies.
