centuries the IPs in Bangladesh have been facing the severe effecs of government policies like land
grabbing, forceful migration and human rights violations. Hundreds of X and X villages have
completely disappeared, land was the source of life and livelihood for them but land was taken by
outsiders from the IPs. After the loss of land, many of the IPs migrated to towns and cities for jobs,
thus IPs have become the most marginalised and vulnerable groups in the country.
I'd like to give some recommendation, to solve the problem. Number one to pressure hte
government to adopt favourable laws, those that recognise the rights of minorities. Number 2 to build
national and international campaign that advocate for the rights of minorities. To provide educational
support for IPs, to support advocacy work with minorities in local communities, to support the IPs
for the development of their organisations at grassroots, natioanl and international level. To
implement regarding local law XX 1997, and State Acquisition and Tenacy Act 1950, ILO
convention XX and ratify ILO convention 167 and UN X. That is all, thank you.
