Women have long suffered in Bangladesh at the hands of society, through their families steeped in tradition, through their unequal status and through ineffective laws which are designed to protect them but are never truly enforced. Many attempts to improve the status and legal rights of women have failed against the longstanding culture of suppressing women. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a potential solution to this serious problem as its application in Bangladesh blends tradition with modern ideas by using shalish, the traditional village court, with intervention and education by NGO's to facilitate justice for women, a process we will call reformed shalish. This paper, therefore, analyzes the history and socio-legal conditions of Bangladesh as well as the advantages reformed shalish is bringing not only to women but to society as a whole, as access to justice for all is an essential pre-condition for development. ADR through reformed shalish can contribute to improving women's status in Bangladeshi society.
