Green Delta, Bangladesh – The Case for Insuring Women for a Better Tomorrow

As safety is a key concern of Bangladeshi women, in 2014, GDIC introduced Nibedita, a women-centric personal accident insurance product. In addition to covering a woman policyholder for accidental death and disability, the Nibedita policy compensates women for trauma resulting from rape, sexual harassment, robbery, or an acid attack.

The Nibedita policy also offers extended coverage for death during childbirth and loss or damage to household goods and personal belongings from disasters—fire, lightning, riots, typhoons, cyclones, windstorms, floods, and earthquakes.

This case study showcases the business case for women's insurance in Bangladesh.
