The report studied how the Bangladeshi people perceive the available justice journey. Using a bottom-up approach, the study team interviewed 6000 randomly selected adults across all districts of Bangladesh during August and September 2017. BRAC Human Rights and Legal Aid Services (HRLS) conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with users of justice to complement the quantitative data with the human stories that normally stay hidden behind the numbers.
