About

Women entrepreneur Romena Akter Moni runs a clothing showroom and sewing workshop in her own home in the Hili land port area of Hakimpur upazila, Dinajpur. After marriage she learned sewing from her elder sister in 2005 so she could make clothes for her daughter; from 2011 she began selling ladies' clothes of her own design online and offline. She is a skilled cutting master: she cuts the fabric to different designs and makes fabric flowers, and four tailors do the stitching, each earning Tk 600–800 a day. The workshop makes all kinds of women's clothing; many orders come through her Facebook page and others from around town. Work runs from 9 am to 10 pm. Monthly sales and order work total Tk 1.5–1.6 lakh, of which she earns Tk 60,000–70,000. She is general secretary of the Hakimpur Women Entrepreneurs Forum (36 members) and trains women in sewing at her workshop.
