Through a comprehensive exploration, the paper workplace hardships, job contentment, societal constraints, and health apprehensions experienced by these workers. It further elucidates the influence of demanding workloads on familial life and delves into the maternal health predicaments encountered. Given the substantial contribution of the Ready Made Garment (RMG) sector to Bangladesh's economy, this inquiry enriches comprehension of the predicaments faced by female workers and offers prospects for ameliorating their labor and living conditions.
