While Bangladesh has achieved significant progress in maternal and
child health, there are ongoing challenges to sexual and reproductive
health and rights (SRHR). The Improving SRHR in Dhaka project
(2021–2026) is addressing persistent SRHR challenges, including
unintended pregnancies, unmet need for contraception, sexual and
gender-based violence (SGBV), unsafe abortion, as well as the social
norms and stigma that continue to hinder access to SRHR.
