Researcher at Shahjalal University of science and technology

My Master’s thesis, completed in 2023, examined the impact of child marriage on the reproductive health of adolescent girls in Bangladesh. Through this research, I explored the reproductive health challenges experienced by girls married before the age of 18, including their access to healthcare and the broader social and health consequences of early marriage. I am now working on transforming the thesis into a journal manuscript, with the aim of publishing it in a reputable international, preferably Scopus-indexed, journal in the field of public health, sexual and reproductive health, or child and adolescent well-being. I see this publication as an important step toward developing my research profile and pursuing further research in this area
