Rehabilitate the intellectually disabled
People with intellectual disabilities are often found to be living in dire straits in almost all parts of the country. Often, they consume food found in dustbins or such unhygienic conditions. In many cases, women with intellectual disabilities are taken advantage of by criminals. Although these helpless people receive limited support from some voluntary organisations, without bold initiatives taken by the government, their living conditions will not change much. I urge the authorities to initiate rehabilitation programmes to bring back these marginalised people into the mainstream of Bangladeshi society.
