Abstract

The worldwide emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has not only exposed vulnerabilities in healthcare systems but has also laid bare the stark disparities within societies. Among those disproportionately affected are the marginalized and vulnerable populations, who face unique challenges in the wake of this unprecedented health crisis. In the context of Bangladesh, a country with diverse communities and economic strata, the effects of COVID-19 on marginalized people have been profound, encompassing health, economic, educational, and social dimensions. The objective of this study is to explore these impacts. The result shows that 60% of marginal people have received the vaccine whereas 40% of marginal people have not yet received the vaccine. This study demonstrates that 76% of marginal people have taken debt during the covid-19. Among them, 13% could not repay their loans. By examining the multifaceted dimensions of the pandemic’s impact, this abstract contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized populations in the context of a global health crisis and calls attention to the need for targeted interventions and support in the post-COVID era.
