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.

Minority situations, its character and nature might differ from country to country but no doubt end result of same which is being experienced by every country is the humanitarian crisis. In Bangladesh, it is the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities who were ruthlessly subjected to genocide and mass destruction during the nine months war of liberation in 1971. It is a matter of great regret and sorrow that even after 45 years of independence the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities are the main target of mass atrocities.They are continuously suffering from communal persecution, discrimination, torture and deprivation in all sphere of life. They are also the main target of present terrorism which is being inspired and influenced by Islamic State, Taleban, Al-Qaida. The Hindus, Buddhists and Christians of the country which include approximately 2.5 million indigenous peoples, are being systematically eliminated through blatant discrimination, denial of access to legal protection and violence. Acting with complete impunity, the Muslim nationalists and extremists have conducted pogroms against the minorities whenever they have wanted to, and regardless of which political party has been in power.
