Right to Shelter and Housing in Bangladesh’s Legal SystemWhile not explicitly listed in the Constitution, the right to shelter has been read into Articles 15 and 32, ensuring basic necessities and dignity. ZCA LEGAL helps slum dwellers, tenants, and low-income families fight forced eviction and arbitrary demolition through writ petitions and PILs. We also help NGOs and housing cooperatives structure legal agreements to protect vulnerable populations. Shelter is more than a roof—it is protection against exploitation, health risks, and social exclusion.
