Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to study the effect of NGO activities in increasing the awareness levels of vulnerable women in Bangladesh. The authors attempt to show the extent to which awareness levels of vulnerable women increased after joining NGOs. The basic questions asked included: Are NGOs really capable of increasing awareness among vulnerable women in Bangladesh? What impact do the programmes of NGOs have on the women's lives? To find answers to these questions, the researchers applied a combination of methods. Two NGOs were selected as case studies: one of them a national NGO and the other local. Data was collected mainly from primary sources, though various secondary sources were also used. The major findings of the study confirmed that the awareness levels of women had indeed increased after joining NGOs.
