Abstract: Microfinance offers small-scale credit; savings and insurance to meet the need of poor people and it occupy a central place in poverty oriented strategies. After the adoption of the concept in late 1970s in Bangladesh this programme is largely targeted at women from the poorest section of the populations. It is for women lifting themselves out of their poverty as well as from vulnerable situation. Though the initial objective of this scheme was not for women’s empowerment, in the recent decades it has incorporated the whole aspects associated with women’s empowerment. Currently, with its debates of poverty reduction capability, new question has been prevalent of its capability on women’s empowerment in Bangladesh. Some evidences claim tremendously positive result whereas others suggesting that microfinance turns women’s lives worse off than before. In addition, it is a new doctrine under neoliberal development paradigm which is the replication of capitalist model. On the basis of a number of existing literatures, I tried to explore the actual scenario in this context which reveals that though it is a concept of neo-liberalism, despite some debates it has a great impact on women’s lives to the extent of their economic, social as well as psychological and political positive transformations in Bangladesh. In addition, it is a combination of all sorts of bottom-up development techniques and its outstanding capability to address poverty targeting women; it has been replicated worldwide with great success.
