The Children of Incarcerated Parents - Legal Analysis In The Perspective Of Bangladesh

Abstract

The thesis commences with an overview of the main topic “The International Human Rights Law” which mainly ensures the human rights. My topic is a part of this broad topic which are about the children right of whose parents are in prison. Children whose parents are in custody or behind bars are an unnoticed and extremely vulnerable population whose rights and wellbeing are impacted at every level of the criminal proceedings against their parents. Criminal justice systems still largely ignore the rights of children whose parents are in prison. Due to limited social welfare services, unclear laws and policies regarding how to handle them, and inadequate protection for children housed in jails, children fall through the cracks that are formed. When a parent or carer gets in legal trouble, children must overcome a number of obstacles. This thesis is an analysis of the rights of the children of imprisonment parents in legal perspective of Bangladesh.
