Dhaka, July 13 -- Although Bangladesh's constitution promises equal protection under the law, the real experience of many tells a different story as people face multiple barriers that prevent them from accessing the justice system.

Aiming to make the judicial services more extensive, accessible and effective for people particularly for marginalised groups, including women, the poor and children, the government has taken a project titled 'Access to Justice for Women: Strengthening Community Dispute Resolution and Improving Case Management'.

It will be implemented by the Law Ministry involving Tk 186.4962 crore.

The project will be implemented in Barishal, Dhaka, Cumilla, Narsingdi, Khulna, Rangpur and Moulvibazar districts by March 2027...
