Empowering Women, Transforming Communities
Bangladesh | 20 May 2026
In rural Bangladesh, tailoring is more than just a skill. It’s a pathway to independence, dignity, and community transformation.
As part of the ARISE program, JTI’s tailoring initiative equips women from vulnerable grower families with the tools, training, and resources they need to achieve economic empowerment. By providing these opportunities, we’re not just creating skilled workers—we’re building stronger communities and brighter futures.
ARISE aims to end child labor in communities where JTI sources tobacco leaf. We work with those directly affected and with others who have the power to change things. Our initiatives are developed and delivered in collaboration with tobacco-growing communities, social partners and governments.
