It is unanimously accknowledged in the Megna Carta-1215, Human Rights declaration-1948, Convention on International Civil and Political Rights-1996, Bangladesh Constitutional Proposals and  in the holly books of all the religions that the common right of people is to get ‘protection in law’ and ‘access to justice’.

These people are not well aware of their rights and obligations. Some Government and non-governmental organizations are working towards eradication of poverty and building up of awareness to make its people concious about constitutional rights and obligations. But that are not enough to reduce poverty at a acceptable rate and make people concious about their rights and obligations.
