In 1949, UNICEF's journey in Bangladesh began with the establishment of a field office in Bangkok, overseeing (then) East Pakistan. A year later, their first office opened in Dhaka, equipped with just two professionals and a driver. This marked the start of a decades-long commitment to the welfare of women and children in the region.
