Book Description
This book examines the intersectionality and stratified lived experience of rural poor and urban middle-class childless women in Bangladesh. Childless women in Bangladesh, an over-populated country where fertility control is the primary focus of health policy, are all but non-existent. Papreen Nahar offers an alarming account of stigma, abuse, ostracism and violence against these women, sharing their experiences of marginalisation in a culture that idealises motherhood. In such a reality, the experience of childlessness, particularly for women, can be much more severe than what is defined as ‘infertility’ in the biomedical sense. As childlessness is a complex interaction between biology, society and culture, the book illustrates the ways in which infertility transforms a health problem into social suffering. Although Bangladeshi childless women are systematically excluded by various structural forces, it appears they do not succumb to their circumstances; rather, they develop resilience and agency to become survivors of their new, albeit bleak, lives. The volume will be of interest to scholars working in anthropology, reproductive and women’s health, global health, gender studies, development studies and Asian studies.

Book Description
By employing Foucauldian and post-structural feminist theories and the method of discourse analysis, this research examines Bangladeshi media and fertility centres' truth construction process in regards to motherhood, childlessness, and ARTs. My research shows that the examined texts construct ARTs as desirable in Bangladeshi couples' lives in four ways. First, they produce the 'truths' that motherhood is a necessity for Bangladeshi women's lives, and childlessness is a 'defect' that causes grief. Second, they construct the 'truths' that ARTs are a significant sign of the progress of medical science, and modern treatments are available in Bangladesh in order to fulfill childless Bangladeshi couples' need. Third, they suggest that IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) children are as 'normal' as children conceived without medical interventions. Finally, they produce the 'truth' that Bangladeshi fertility clinics reconcile Islamic principles in providing fertility treatments, making them acceptable for childless couples to pursue.

Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Social Work, grade: 1.7, Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigsburg, course: Gender and Social Development, language: English, abstract: In this paper I want to take a closer look at Bangladesh in particular, and look at the laws that are made considering child marriage, the causes and consequences of child marriage. I want to get a better understanding of the cultural reasons and the problems of the country that lead to this. Furthermore I will look at the views and attitude of the people affected by this, and look at all the possibilities as to what needs to be changed, how we can help and how it is important for social work. Child marriage is very common today and it undeniably has a lot of negative affects. Of course, in most of these countries the practise of child marriage is prohibited. Unfortunately, these laws often do not have a big impact. The lack of impact of these laws are highly related to cultural and religious traditions. It is mostly common in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, followed by Latin America and the Caribbean, East Asia and the Pacific, and finally Europe and Central Asia. Out of all of these regions, Bangladesh with 65%, has the second highest rate of child marriage after Niger.
