Abstract: This paper examines the legal and regulatory framework governing rights and protection of persons with disabilities (PWDs) of Bangladesh in a critical manner. The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the existing legal system concerning disability rights in Bangladesh with a view to identifying the loopholes and suggesting recommendations for possible solutions. The study uses a legal and doctrinal research methodology followed by an analytical approach. In identifying and interpreting data both primary and secondary legal sources are considered. The study reveals that the current legal framework regulating disability rights in Bangladesh is not well structured and in reality, persons with disabilities are not properly protected by law. Hence, a comprehensive legislation with effective implementation mechanism is indispensable for Bangladesh to enforce the rights of PWDs diligently and efficiently.
