Sex, Slavery, and Drugs in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is one of the few Muslim nations where prostitution is legal, and the country’s largest brothel is called Daulatdia, where more than 1,500 women and girls sell sex to thousands of men every day.
Daulatdia is infamous for drug abuse and underage prostitution, and many of its sex workers are victims of sexual slavery who were trafficked into the area and sold to a pimp or a madam. They are forced to work off the fee that was paid for them, a debt that takes years to clear because they receive as little as a dollar for sex.
VICE News correspondent Tania Rashid visited the notorious Bangladeshi brothel - where human trafficking, underage prostitution, and drugs are commonplace - and met the traffickers and the trafficked, as well as the clientele.

Why can't these girls or even younger boys sometimes run away? Because the so called polished and well-off society yearns to keep them at bay thinking of them getting maligned because of proceeding to help them. It is practically difficult to survive in this world without a helping hand. And that is what these poor souls lack. And, then there are sadistic people who wouldn't like such institutions to stop working for their ulterior motives. The Government? Hahhhh. What is the meaning of this word? GOVERN ----- but what?

How can someone see the endless torment and helplessness of another person and say "Well, it's a domestic issue, they can deal with it on their own if they want to".

As a[n] European you ought to be aware that female Greek physicians are turning to prostitution to make ends meet. Way to go, Troika.

As a european? you know this exact same shit happens throughout europe, right? Ignorant eurocentric fuck.

[@JawadBhuiyan]

As a Bangladeshi it truly hurts to watch... I was lucky enough to be a part of the financially stable population... But a lot of the population still suffers from poverty and bad shit like this and the corrupt government won't even do anything about it... But I'm glad the current generation is willing to take matter into their own hand to solve the problem...

Lol i m from Bangladesh and I have to say this the current young generation of Bangladesh is way worse then previous generation. At leat the upcoming two general won't do anything to change instead they may make situation worse. Current generation is more conservative and radicalized then the previous one.

[@captainskeleton3994]

Hello random strangers on the internet. Life went downhill. All hell broke loose. Trying hard to get a grip on myself and keep sane. Barely can survive and support myself. Couldn't do jackshit for anybody. Experiencing first hand the steep decline of the Institutions and the Society. And thinking that It might be better after all to immigrate to some developed nation. But.....Somewhere deep down.. There still lies that lingering flame of desire for improving lives of my fellow countrymen. May be the intensity is not what it once was. Yet the dream is still there. May be one day, I hope I can go chase after my dream. For now though, I am busy surviving.

VICE News correspondent Tania Rashid visited the notorious Bangladeshi brothel - where human trafficking, underage prostitution, and drugs are commonplace - and met the traffickers and the trafficked, as well as the clientele.

Nice report Tania and so pretty! Horrible these girls cant get some government support for pay, and health protections at the very least.

[@johnhughes5179]

brendon albrecht Yeah that's the problem..... Get real. She says at 13:15 that sex before marriage, drugs, and alcohol are all "strictly illegal" in Bangladesh. Therefore it is government that has created this brothel by its prohibitions. If there was no ban on drugs or prostitution, the brothels would start becoming more like legal brothels in Europe instead of these hellish creations of government policy.

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

John Hughes You didn't listen.....prostitution is legal in Bangladesh........not with MINORS she explains

[@johnhughes5179]

brendon albrecht I said "sex before marriage" - therefore the men seek out illicit and unscrupulous encounters to avoid the ire of government and society.

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

John Hughes Your comment is almost identical to mine.....the government has lacked to provided regulation of the legal sex trade. My comment was in agreement with yours. Germany and some other governments have provided safe and profitable conditions that are non existent in Bangladesh.........this is the issue
