Bangladesh Scoping Study: Policy Research on Climate Change and SRHR in Khulna Division of Bangladesh

Categories:

This study focuses on the different intersections of climate change and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues within the coastal region (Khulna) of Bangladesh. The coastal areas are tremendously at risk of the influences of climate exchange, which have negative implications for the SRHR of the women and girls living in these areas. The study examines the manifold SRHR-related vulnerabilities faced by affected communities in terms of access to quality healthcare services, family planning, and maternal and child health etc. It highlights the increased risks of child marriage, gender-based violence, unplanned pregnancies, and deterioration of reproductive health in the context of changing climate patterns. Climate change-pushed effects consisting of salinity intrusion, changing rainfall patterns, and multiplied temperature have an effect on agriculture, livelihoods, and food protection in the coastal vicinity. These changes impact SRHR through their outcomes on health infrastructure, availability of easy water and sanitation facilities, and access to healthcare services. The vulnerabilities created through climate change can exacerbate the present SRHR situation in the region.
