This study describes women’s participation in the decision-making process during participatory rural appraisal (PRA), Village WASH Committee (VWC) and cluster meetings of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme of BRAC. This study aimed to determine the challenges, if any, faced by female members in participating in and influencing the decision-making process, and to determine BRAC’s role in dealing with any problems faced by women. Seven villages were selected for this study from Balaganj, Srimongal, Gajipur and Feni districts. Data were collected through participant observation, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews of community people, VWC members, programme assistants, programme organizers and upazila managers. Findings reveal that almost in all cases attendance of female members in the meetings was equal or higher than men. Most of the females did not voluntarily express their opinions, especially the ultra poor and adolescent girls. As a result, they failed to influence in decision-making. Male members always spoke on many issues, about their problems though they did not have much influence on decisions, except in a few cases. Decisions were mostly made by BRAC representatives. However, male members were seen to express their voice voluntarily in most of the time in the meeting. Women’s participation in these meetings can be ensured by sensitizing community people, VWC members and WASH field staff about the benefits of equal participation of both sexes in development activities. An enabling environment should be created where all members of the community, especially adolescent girls and hardcore poor, can express their opinions in meeting. Participation of adolescent girls can be increased by decreasing the number of target households for cluster meetings, as we found that attendance of adolescent girls was much  lower. Presently in formation of cluster larger geographical coverage is considered to include 50 households often from the distant places of the village. In cluster with scattered households most parents do not allow their adolescent daughters to attend meetings. Finally, holding of meetings at convenient time for women may also ensure their higher participation.
