Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a densely populated and culturally rich country characterized by its diverse landscapes, vibrant traditions, and a history deeply rooted in the struggle for independence. The country is marked by the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, offering fertile plains and a network of rivers that sustain its agricultural economy. Despite facing challenges such as poverty and environmental issues, Bangladesh has made significant strides in economic development and social progress, reflecting a resilient spirit and commitment to progress.
In Bangladesh, the issue of disability is a multifaceted and complex challenge that intersects with various social, economic, and cultural factors. With a population of over 172 million people, the country is home to a significant number of individuals with disabilities, who often face barriers in accessing education, employment, healthcare, and social services. The prevalence of disabilities in Bangladesh is influenced by factors such as poverty, lack of awareness, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and environmental hazards.
Despite efforts to address inclusivity and rights for persons with disabilities, there is still much work to be done in policy implementation, societal attitudes and creating an environment that fosters equal opportunities for all.
