Detailed Solution

Bangladesh is a country where more than half of its population lives in poverty.
The poor find it difficult even to fulfil their basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and education. Some of the major reasons for this situation are its calamitous weather, poor infrastructure, and gender inequality, which prevails, further preventing women from contributing to the country's economic growth.
