Only 12 acres, but 1,600 prostitutes live, 3,000 clients a day, young girls are forced to take medicine to ripen, earning only 8 yuan at a time, this is Bangladesh's prostitute village - Kandapala village.
Bangladesh is located in South Asia, and compared to its neighbor India, Bangladesh is inconspicuous internationally, but such a humble country has a historic "prostitute village".
It is puzzling how Bangladesh, a Muslim country, would allow the existence of the sex industry. Is there something hidden in this?
Bangladesh is one of the least economically developed countries, with a low level of economic development, and economic development mainly relies on agriculture and garment industries. However, relying on these two major industries alone, Bangladesh's economy cannot develop on its own, and this situation also makes the president of Bangladesh anxious.
At this time, the leaders of Bangladesh thought about whether to rely on the development of the sex industry to develop the economy, after all, their neighboring countries such as Thailand have obtained a lot of economic income by relying on the development of the sex industry, which also makes the leaders of Bangladesh eager to move, very "red-eyed".
After much deliberation, Bangladesh decided to legalize the sex industry, and with the legalization of pornography in Bangladesh, a village in Bangladesh, Kandapala, became famous.
Kandapala is the second largest red light district in Bangladesh, full of women and children, living in a very poor environment, and most amazingly, it can host 3,000 people a day and earn only 8 yuan at a time.
This shows what an inhuman life the women here lead, but for most women in the village, this is their only source of income, they need to survive and survive, they have to do this work.
Don't they want to escape from here? Of course they want to, but they can't escape.
Most of these fireworks sites are protected and controlled by local forces, not to mention that the sex industry is already legal in Bangladesh, and if they choose to escape, they will be greeted with a severe beating or even loss of their own lives.
Therefore, most women here do not choose to escape, and the girls born to these women continue to repeat their fate.
What's more, in order to satisfy the bad taste of some guests, some old bustards will auction the "first night" of young girls, in order to make young girls' bodies look fuller, old bustards will force them to take a class of cheap cholesterol drugs to make these girls' bodies mature as soon as possible.
The most direct consequence of taking such drugs is the reduction of life expectancy, so most women in prostitutes' villages have a shorter lifespan, accompanied by sexually transmitted diseases and gynecological diseases throughout their lives.
Women in prostitutes' villages are seen by local authorities as nothing more than a money-making tool, discarded when they are not easy to use, and they are not treated as human beings, but more like cattle.
When these women grow old and decay, they are abandoned and their lives are basically at an end.
Such an abyss-like village has attracted a large number of foreign tourists to find out, and it is the influx of foreign tourists that has led to the rampant local power of the prostitute village, and more and more women are involved and forced to engage in sex trafficking.
The existence of prostitutes' villages in Bangladesh reflects not only the low status of women, but also the economic backwardness. If we want to solve this problem at the root cause, we must focus on solving the problem of economic backwardness and improving the living environment of women.
Hopefully, one day, such villages will disappear from the country, and women here can smile again, step out of the abyss and bask in the sun.
