Abstract

Bangladesh has experienced massive urbanisation in the last few decades with a staggering growth of seven millions slum dwellers. About two million people live in the slums of Dhaka city. Most of the slums lack basic facilities for childhood development due to inadequate social security raised by gender violence and discrimination in family as well as community plus prevalence of domestic violence is higher in slums along with gender discrimination and violence against women and children (VAWC). As a result, physical, social and cognitive development of the children is hampered and which is neglected or undermined unexpectedly. Considering these issues, Gender Justice and Diversity (GJD) programme of BRAC has taken up an initiative to implement Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme named as SNEHALOY at the selected slums in Dhaka city.
