Furthermore, the intensity of poverty gets worse by high levels of vulnerability due to increasing frequency and magnitude of natural disasters in the coastal areas adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. The common disasters in Bangladesh include floods, cyclones, tornadoes, river erosion, landslides, droughts and earthquakes as well as the affects of these disasters. The situation is further exaggerated by a continuous rise of population and lack of functional community- based disaster management strategies.

  • Annual Human Rights Report 2020 Bangladesh
    ANNUAL HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2020 BANGLADESH Prepared by Odhikar Date of Release: 25 January 2021 Foreword Since its inception in 1994, Odhikar has been relentlessly struggling to protect the civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of the people. Odhikar, as an organisation of human rights defenders, has always sought to raise awareness of all human rights violations committed by the state and campaign for internationally recognized civil and political rights, to protest and prevent the state from violating human rights. Odhikar unconditionally stands by the victims of oppression and maintains no prejudice with regard to their political leanings or ideological orientation and it advocates for establishing protection and justice for victims of human rights abuses. Currently, an authoritarian government system is in place in the country and as a result human rights violations are common place. The biggest strength of Odhikar is the human rights activists and organisations in different countries of the world and the human rights defenders associated with it all over the country. Odhikar also publishes reports every quarter, based on fact-finding, research, and reports sent by human rights defenders from different districts of the country and data published in various media. A summary of Odhikar’s quarterly reports for 2020 is included in this annual human rights report. Odhikar has been facing extreme state repression and harassment since 2013 due to its human rights activities. Despite the state’s constant harassment and obstruction, the report highlights human rights violations in accordance with international human rights standards. It is to be noted that due to the violation of freedom of expression and the practice of self-censorship by the media, various human rights violations have not been reported at a normal pace.
