Declarations

:

: This study received primary approval from the Academic Committee of the Department of Sociology, University of Dhaka. Subsequently, ethical clearance was granted by the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (Approval No. RRRC/Research Work/1-3/020/103) for conducting fieldwork. Participation in the study was completely voluntary. Verbal and written consent were obtained from the participants involved in the Key Informant Interviews (KIIs). However, as most of the IDIs respondents were illiterate, only verbal consent was collected from them. To ensure anonymity, the collected data and information were devoid of any personal identifying details. There is no public access to the data, interviews, or field notes, maintaining confidentiality. The researcher and data enumerators were mindful of and respected the cultural and religious norms of the respondents. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all necessary safety measures were implemented by the investigator and data enumerators to protect the health and well-being of everyone involved in the study.
