AbstractGender‐based inequities prevent women from partaking in decision‐making. This study is a secondary analysis of the 2017–2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) data. We examined women's participation in no‐decisions against a set of independent variables to determine the factors associated with not participating in any decisions. The adjusted multivariable logistic regression revealed that women, aged 15–19, with no children, living in larger households, not employed for cash, agreed with at least one reason for husband's beating their wives and were not exposed to print media, were significantly less likely to be involved in any household decisions. This study sheds light on ways to promote women's active participation in decisions and to identify programme‐modifiable indicators for future research.
