The study is a sociological investigation that examined whether women's autonomy matters or not in determining their control to exercise reproductive rights in rural Bangladesh. A survey was conducted on 200 randomly selected married women from Hogladanga village in the Bagerhat district of Bangladesh. We administered an interview questionnaire containing 27 Likert-type questions under three mutually interlinked domains for autonomy measures and 12 Likert-type questions under two mutually interlinked domains for reproductive rights status measures. The findings revealed that women's autonomy status is strongly associated with their control to exercise reproductive rights status (β = .862, p < .001) along with both of the proxy variables, that is, sexual behavior index (β = .915, p < .001) and reproductive behavior index (β = .62, p < .001). The study findings suggest that women's autonomy must be considered an important sociocultural determinant of higher control to exercise reproductive rights for young mothers in Bangladesh.

Main problems are existed in executors, policy makers and teachers. In broadly, Bangladesh government has taken broad initiatives to develop the education sector, but the manpower problem in this sector is severe.

standard of living. However, it appears actually that the conception of poverty is
mostly connected with income of money. Swift and persistent poverty alleviation
need a speedy and arrangement of profitable progress that aids poor, male and female
to contribute, pro-poor development. Essentially, it has various non-income extents.
Bangladesh, home to a huge population of 14.23 crore (BBS, 2010), cannot escape the
fact of severity of poverty. Poverty alleviation has, therefore, been high on its
development agenda as is evidenced in all plan documents. The decline of poverty in
Bangladesh is by and large attributable to the relentless engagement in poverty
reduction interventions. Yet the depth and dimension of poverty is a matter of great
concern. For the last three decades, successive Governments have embarked on
numerous poverty/risk alleviation strategies and programs. The programs have helped
make significant inroads into poverty, contributing to a decline in headcount rates
from nearly 70 percent in the early seventies to a little fewer than 50 percent in 2000.
However, Bangladesh remains a poor country with nearly half of its population living
below the poverty line (World Bank, 2003). Bangladesh has an ample range of social
safety net programmes. Numerous specifically designed social safety net programmes
are being directly operated by the Government of Bangladesh. These programmes try
to address both income poverty and human poverty. While income and employment
generating projects are being run, on the other side some other programmes are also
being operated with the motto to help human development through ensuring
education, health, nutrition and water and sanitation. In designing the development
strategy Government of Bangladesh focus mainly on elimination of poverty and
inequity, set priority on activities targeting the extreme poor, women in poverty,
landless poor, and other disadvantaged groups. In this regard a strong and expanded
social safety net is the main emphasis of the present government’s vision to protect
the poor from all types of social, economic and natural shocks (GoB, 2009).

government has taken many successive strategies to reduce the poverty, social
security programs is one of them. Traditionally, there were two types of public social
security programs named food rationing and post-disaster relief program in
Bangladesh. (Hannan and Afrin, 2015; p: 150). In 1998 old age allowance program
had started, but now it has become a significant social security program in the social
security programs of Bangladesh (Hossain, 2007; P: 35). Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman understood the reality and sufferings of widow
and he took initiative for their social protection and security. He included Social
Security Clause (15) (d) in the constitution of Bangladesh .Thus widow women get
constitutional guarantee for social security at the time of their poverty (Department of
Social Service, 2012)

But various indicators reveal that the status of women is much lower than that of men. The involvement of women is mainly confined to the household works like child rearing, cooking, dish washing, post harvesting activities of crops, etc. and they are not adequately involved in household decision making process. Disparities between men and women in education, health, employment and income opportunities, control over assets, personal security and participation in household decision making process as well as political process reveal that women are deprived and less empowered, which limits the country’s ability to achieve its full potential (Biswas, 2004). Education is one of the most influencing factors for increasing participation of women in household decision-making process. Here it can be mentioned that the national literacy rate of women was 48.82%, while the rate was 58.48% for men in the year 2006 (BBS, 2007). Rural women are better savers and their credit repayment behavior is better. But lack of appropriate management capability, low literacy rate and poor health and nutritional status of women are the main obstacles on the way of rapid socio-economic progress of them. Therefore, emphasis should be given to their income earning, education, low birth rate and nutritional improvement and these may be considered as an appropriate package for involving women in development (WID).
But in the development arena women should supposed to participate in household decision-making process. In fact, this remarkable change in women access to such crucial aspects of decision making is greatly appreciated and a salient indication towards the progress of women empowerment. Empowerment of women in the society and in the state as a whole will not be ensure until and unless they can take part effective role in decision making process at all level (Kabir and Jahan, 2013).
