Abstract

In South Asia, Hijras are transgender, intersex, or eunuch people who live in close communities. In Bangladesh, they remain socially excluded and stigmatized. Although their gender identity is legally recognized, studies show they still face barriers in accessing healthcare. This research explores the healthcare experiences of Hijras in different service sectors. It is based on 79 in-depth interviews and 3 key-informant interviews, analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings show that public hospitals only provide male- and female-focused facilities, with no separate arrangements for Hijra patients. Many faced verbal harassment, blame for their illnesses, and unequal treatment. Health providers also lacked awareness of Hijra identity and culture. The study recommends formally including Hijra as a gender category in the healthcare system to reduce discrimination and ensure fair healthcare access for them.

Abstract

This research initiates an inquiry into the perceptions, expectations, and political behavior of first-time voters of Ward No. 30, Rajshahi City Corporation to gauge their role in the democratic process as new entrants in the electoral system. First-time voters provide an insightful view of how youth relate to democracy in Bangladesh. The study uses a structured questionnaire with demographic and issue-based questions to show key concerns at present: unemployment, corruption, and low faith in electoral fairness. It further probes what influences their voting decision—credibility of the candidate, party ideology, or social media and peer influence—and finds that first-time voters have a very sophisticated awareness of politics; they are both enthusiastic and skeptical about such voters who demand accountability with transparent and inclusive governance. The findings show a sophisticated political sensitivity among first-time voters—a mix of zeal and doubt—who weigh much accountability, transparency, and inclusive governance. It is thus concluded that by giving this demographic more political representation and real engagement opportunities, a more participatory and responsive democratic culture can be encouraged.
