Right to Access to Justice for the People with Disabilities: A Legal Analysis of the Current Scenario of Bangladesh.

Abstract

The rights of people with disabilities ( PWDs) is one of the most neglected and misunderstood areas of development. But disabled people are inseparable from human beings. To live with dignity, it is necessary for a person to enjoy certain legal rights. However, the existing legal system for the development of the PWDs has many loopholes. As a result, they suffered greatly. This paper provides a critical overview of the legal framework governing the rights and protection of PWDs in Bangladesh. The purpose of this study is to identify gaps and propose possible solutions by reviewing and analyzing the current legal system for the rights of PWDs in Bangladesh. This study shows that the current legal framework for the rights of PWDs in Bangladesh is poorly structured and they are not adequately protected by law. Thus, Bangladesh needs comprehensive legislation with effective enforcement mechanisms to diligently and effectively enforce the rights of PWDs.
