  • Comparing Reforms of Juvenile Justice in Bangladesh and Malaysia Nahid Ferdousi Bangladesh Open University Email Correspondence: [email protected]
    Volume 3, Issue 1, June 2020 : 15 – 35 Comparing Reforms of Juvenile Justice in Bangladesh and Malaysia Nahid Ferdousi Bangladesh Open University email correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article attempts to critically compare juvenile justice reforms in both jurisdictions of Bangladesh and Malaysia. It explores legal reforms in line with the international standards to ensure the effective juvenile justice system as well as child well-being in the respective legal systems. The juvenile justice practice of Bangladesh and Malaysia are a testament that diverse juvenile laws, norms and systems exist. After ratification of UNCRC, significant progress has been achieved in both countries. Malaysia adopted mechanisms for rehabilitation in terms of job-based education and alternatives measures by the Child Act 2001. Child-oriented justice and alternative measures have started with the commencement of Children Act 2013 in Bangladesh. For both countries, there is a need for establishing a child-friendly justice system, which would ensure sustainable juvenile justice. Keywords: Juvenile; Justice; Reforms; Date of Submission: December 04, 2019 Date of Publication: April 20, 2020 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33096/substantivejustice.v3i1.52 INTRODUCTION Juvenile justice system has changed all around the world within a period of time. International instruments clarified that there should be a specialized system of juvenile justice adhering to fair justice policy including equal rights to every child. Children have the rights to get justice on the basis of their age, maturity, circumstances and needs. International human rights law has specific guidelines, rules and principles, which provide practical guidelines for the implementation of the UNCRC in particular areas1 State parties, too have made efforts to implement its obligations.

Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Message It is my great pleasure to know that the updated National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan or NBSAP 2016-2021 is going to be published. This document is a guiding framework for biodiversity conservation, ensuring sustainable use of its components along with fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of utilization of genetic resources. Bangladesh enjoys a very rich diversity of flora and fauna in a wider range of ecosystems. The economy of the country and the people are heavily dependent on the biological resources for their lives and livelihoods. Our cultural heritage, rural lifestyles and traditional healthcare have long been attached to the services provided by the biodiversity. To ensure our rich biodiversity be conserved and used sustainably, we need to follow the updated NBSAP that reflects well thought of actions and strategies of implementation. The NBSAP as a whole could serve as a guiding document to everyone who is involved in management of country’s biodiversity. Being a developing nation, like any other such countries of the world, expansion of intensive agriculture, industrialization, rapid urbanization and rural infrastructure development caused severe stress on the habitats of biodiversity.

  • Adolescent Nutrition in Bangladesh Adolescent Nutrition in Bangladesh June 2018
    Adolescent nutrition in Bangladesh Adolescent nutrition in Bangladesh June 2018 1. Summary of findings • A nutrition transition is occurring—stunting has declined but remains high (27%), overweight is increasing (currently 7%), and underweight (thinness) has remained consistent, around 12% during recent years. Stunting and underweight are both highest in Sylhet. Underweight is higher in adolescent boys (22%) than girls (17%), at least in rural areas. • Anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies are common in adolescents, notably vitamin A, zinc, and iodine, and other deficiencies such as calcium are also likely common, since dietary intakes are far below requirements. • Both boys and girls are vulnerable to malnutrition to varying degrees depending on the indicator. • More than half of females 10-49 years have inadequately diverse diets, and there are strong differences by subpopulation, particularly by wealth quintile. Adolescent girls and women with low wealth, who are food insecure and live in Rangpur, Barisal, or Rajshahi, are more likely to have inadequately diverse diets, especially during the post-aus season. • Adolescent girls 10-16 years are at least twice as likely as boys 10-16 years to go to sleep hungry, skip meals, and take smaller meals, and one-and-a-half times more likely to eat only rice, as coping strategies during food insecurity. • Early marriage has declined but remains high—59% of ever-married women 20-24 years were married by age 18. Age at first marriage is lowest in Rangpur and highest in Sylhet. • Secondary school enrolment is low—only 43% of adolescents 11-17 years are enrolled in secondary school.
