Topic > Nussbaum's Capabilities Approach: The Bangladesh Scenario

Nussbaum's capabilities approach is a checklist that incorporates the threshold level of human capabilities, as he argued. The functioning of these abilities is of fundamental importance in anyone's life. Therefore, he argued that the proper functioning of these capabilities should be guaranteed by each nation's constitution. Much of the potential of Nussbaum's approach is already incorporated into the Constitution of Bangladesh. Here we will give a brief overview of the conditions of these capabilities in Bangladesh. Life The conditions of these skills are not good in Bangladesh. Government not only fails to ensure life safety, but also supports activities harmful to life. Extrajudicial killing is one such example. In 2009 alone, 125 people died in the crossfire of law enforcement. Body health Health, particularly reproductive health, has improved in recent days but is still not in satisfactory condition. The maternal mortality rate is 320, higher than the expected level, and only 24% of births are attended by qualified health personnel. Even those who can afford a private clinic often don't have the right treatment. Bodily Integrity In Bangladesh no one is truly safe from attacks. The situation is worse for women and children. In 2009, 357 women were raped in Bangladesh, of which 158 were gang raped. Not only that, many killed after being raped. What's worse is that some rape victims have been whipped to death via local arbitration fatwas, as in the case of Hena, a 14-year-old girl from Shariatpur. Reason, imagination and thought There has been some progress in achieving this ability. Basic primary education is almost universal and has gender equality. A change in the curriculum is underway to improve children's creativity and imagination. Emotions A...... middle of paper ...... we can accelerate our progress with collective actions, we may achieve it in the near future.
