Cultural barrier and patriarchal bargain in climate change adaptation
Assessing the relationship between land ownership and the health care expenditure of rural women in Bangladesh
The objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of land ownership on health care expenditure among rural Bangladeshi women. A simple random sampling (SRS) technique was used to gather data from participants in the Tangail District.

Leaving for living? Factors and dynamics behind Bangladeshi female migration to the Gulf states

The study follows a qualitative method includin…
Negotiating gender-equal inheritance rights
Inheritance rights in Bangladesh are a highly contested issue. These are interpreted differently in the two major religions in Bangladesh, Islam and Hinduism.

Such contestation challenges the formulation of gender-equal inheritance policies in Banglade…

This contribution inquires how public space’s design and materiality play a fundamental role in popular struggles for social justice. By focusing on the differentiated access of women to pub…
