In a place called Kandapara, this photograph captures the stark reality of a community ensnared in the harsh grip of prostitution. Here, more than 1,000 women reside, their lives entangled in a relentless cycle of serving clients. In this area, prostitution is deemed legal, while the act of abortion remains forbidden. The village has earned the somber title of the "Village of Prostitutes," where countless children grow up burdened by the weight of their uncertain paternity.
For these children, the knowledge that awaits them at the tender age of nine is a future inherited from their mothers—a life marred by dependency on medication, vulnerability to diseases, and a persistent struggle against poverty. The community itself comprises over 600 interconnected rooms, each providing shelter for the sex workers who labor within its confines. The plight of these women has attracted the attention of journalists, both local and international, who have ventured into Kandapara to expose the tragic reality that unfolds here.
One such exposé came from The Guardian, a British newspaper, which aired a documentary unmasking the lives of these prostitutes and bringing their plight to the forefront of global consciousness. However, despite the efforts to shed light on their circumstances, the authorities in Bangladesh hold a different perspective. In March 2000, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh made a decision that legalized sex work within the boundaries of Kandapara. This legal recognition led to rapid development in the village, propelling it to become one of the largest government-acknowledged brothel areas among the 20 designated villages.
Within the confines of these brothels, sex workers are obligated to obtain licenses, and clients engage in prostitution under the purview of the law. However, it is important to distinguish between the legality of the profession itself and the process by which individuals become sex workers. Investigations from various countries have revealed distressing evidence that a significant majority of the prostitutes in Kandapara have been trafficked or forcibly taken from their homes, often originating from neighboring countries like Nepal, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Shockingly, some are even sold into this life by their own parents, a heartbreaking betrayal.

horrendous story on the Bangladeshi government

Imagine how sick a man would be to wanna have sexual intercourse with a 9 year old child. But this has happened since before time. It's just disgusting to me. I mean boggles my mind how children Can be used as the objects of sexual desire. It's scary and it's just so traumatizing. It's the most evil thing I believe on Earth.

[malindajohnson]

They are sex slaves held against their will. That’s different from prostitution. How does slavery and rape become legal?

[nishashandal]

This makes me sick to my stomach. I am disgusted and saddened for all these innocent children. This needs to stop.

[TheFragilityOfIdeas]

What a brutal world this is. It weighs heavy on my soul seeing such scenes like this, even more so when babies are born into such adversity and hopelessness. There’s seemingly not enough love in this world to go round.

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL!!! NOT THE OUTFIT OF A TIC-TOKER!!!

[Brentboy]

Heartbreaking.
I wasn’t aware of this.
Bangladeshi is almost a failed state that can’t get itself out of poverty. An endless cycle.
These poor women and children are the absolute bottom of the cycle.
It’s like a prison of abuse.
Instead of demonising immigration we should help these nations directly (Excluding corruption)
As former colonies of the UK we have a moral responsibility to protect and assist.

[luvmskae]

This is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen on the internet

[jeffolney]

While you know this goes on in the world, it’s videos like these that bring the horrific lives these women live to the front of your mind. You can do nothing but have a tear in your eye or feel nothing but sorrow for these women, . What an evil world we live in.

[HenryMoloi]

How can the world be so cruel to the lives of innocent and vulnerable human beings?

[natsumidesu]

The government should put more budget on EDUCATION to atleast minimize if not eradicated this trade in the future.

[sharonbaulch]

Those poor precious girls to have sex at 9 is criminal. The government of Bangladesh should be ashamed, how they can sleep is beyond me! Prostitution has been around since before the time of Christ. These women/children don't choose this life path, and the government.need to be more accountable. My heart is broken for this tragic abuse of so many victims.
