Saha, Pritum Kumar
This study investigates the critical nexus between violence against women and girls (VAWG) and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities in urban lowincome communities, with a specific focus on Dhaka, Bangladesh. Globally, over 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water, disproportionately affecting marginalized urban populations. Women and girls in these settings face heightened risks of gender-based violence due to inadequate WASH infrastructure, such as distant water sources and unsafe sanitation facilities. In Bangladesh, rapid urbanization has exacerbated these challenges, with studies indicating that 85% of women in urban slums experience some form of VAWG, often linked to WASH access. This research addresses the intersection of WASH deficiencies and VAWG, highlighting the role of gender inequalities and socio-economic marginalization in perpetuating vulnerability

Hoque, Sheik Johirul
This thesis is on “Leveraging technology for sustainable agriculture: A comparative analysis of livelihood outcomes between technology-adopting and traditional smallholder farmers.” Smallholder farmers face significant challenges living a good life, let alone maintaining a sustainable livelihood. They often lack the utilization of modern technology and proper education or training for sustainable agriculture. This study examines a comparative analysis to assess how technology adoption influences the sustainable agriculture and the sustainable livelihood outcome (economic, social, and environmental) of smallholder farmers

Chowdhury, Shaown
This chapter explains how we did the research to get a grip on what's really going on with healthcare in Cox’s Bazar. Since imparting healthcare for the duration of a long-time period disaster is extraordinarily complex and usually changing, we used the idea to use of a combination of strategies turned higher than simple one. We gathered numbers from surveys and other sources, and we also talked to refugees, locals, and healthcare workers to get their stories. The surveys gave us a general idea of who uses the services and how well the system works, like if the services are helpful and how well everyone is working together. But the survey data couldn't really explain why there were problems with the services. So, we dug deeper with the aid of reading interviews and searching on the memories humans told. We learned that things like gender roles, language barriers, and staff leaving all played a part in making it harder for some people to getthe care they needed. By putting all of this evidence together, we could see how the health system was doing from a big-picture view and what was happening on the ground. So, what did we find? The health system is constantly quick on sources and suffering to maintain up with the need, which hits women, minorities, and those with long-time period diseases the hardest Hearing from refugees, locals, and the people working directly with patients made our results even more useful.
