Internally displaced persons in Bangladesh: Causes, and policy recommendations

This manuscript delves into the phenomena of internal displacement in Bangladesh, exploring its multifaceted causes, including environmental, political, economic, and social factors. The study draws upon five significant case studies: river erosion, ethnic conflict in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, post-election violence against religious minorities, economic displacement due to shrimp cultivation, and slum eviction for urban development. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for improving the lives of displaced persons, focusing on legal protection, rehabilitation, and long-term solutions.
