Research
Five programmes, each pairing close legal analysis with fieldwork among the people the law affects.
Research programmes
Refugees
How Bangladesh and the wider region receive, protect and govern people who have fled, with a specific focus on the Rohingya.
Bangladeshi migrants worldwide
The legal routes and traps that shape migration from Bangladesh, centred on low-skilled and vulnerable workers, and especially on women who face sexual and other exploitation abroad.
Climate and environmental justice
Environmental harm and sustainable development in one of the world's most climate-exposed deltas, and the question of who carries the cost.
Human rights
Rights in their many dimensions, studied where they are claimed and where they fail: in courts, in custody, at work and online.
Corruption and transparency
Public money, public office and the rules meant to keep both accountable.
Current studies
Cheaper Than a Man: findings
What the Dhaka roundtable established about the recruitment of children into kishor gangs.
Research ethics
Studies that involve people, and above all children or survivors of violence, go through formal ethics review before any fieldwork. Participants' identities are protected in everything we publish.
Fund or partner on a study
We welcome enquiries from funders, universities and public bodies.
