Women's shelters in Bangladesh face challenges in serving a population of over 160 million people within a small area of around 144,000 square kilometers. The shelters must help victims of domestic violence and abuse in a developing country with a GDP per capita of only around $1,659 where nearly half the population lives in poverty.
