MR Ludu

A simple Ludu Game for rising awareness about pregnancy.

Menstrual Regulation has been the main practice and that is what the Bangladeshi government allows over the use abortion. As the law allows women to abort a pregnancy through menstrual regulation only by the first trimester, there remains a dark room for those who were married off before the legal age 18, and as per the UNICEF (2014) every 1 in 3 girls in Bangladesh face early marriage before the age of 18. Again, the government has allowed a special provision in the child marriage prevention law in early March-2017, which allows girls can be married off before their legal age with consent of their parents. So, the barriers relating to age of marriage and abortion legality make women’s life more critical. Moreover, about other unintended pregnancies including rape also drive them to go for unsafe abortion practices and costs lives of many. Again, in most Muslim families, abortion is considered as a sin, and so it is quite difficult to intervene in societies with express logics, because of the taboo. Moreover, with the increasing number of quack clinics in the urban areas, and middlemen interests in diverting potential abortion patients to those are becoming a new threat to maternal health improvement.
