"I'm going to deal with men and beds all my life."
How scary would it be to legalize brothels? A 12-year-old girl in Bangladesh sobbed with tears in her eyes.
The village of Kandapala in Bangladesh's central region is the world's largest "prostitute village", home to more than 1,000 prostitutes and serving an average of 3,000 guests a day.
People of all ages, from 9-year-olds to 55-year-olds, who work in sex here have no other way to earn money but sell their bodies to make a living.
When it comes to working in this business, it is basically because of poverty, young girls are sold here by their parents, and some girls are abducted and sold here by human traffickers from other places.
However, once in this place, there is basically no possibility of escape.
Naim, 12, was trafficked here.
When she first arrived, she also resisted, unwilling to accept her life, and only received cruel torture and abuse, and no food.
In the end, Naim couldn't bear it anymore and agreed to the old bustard's request and began to serve the guests.
However, to become a legal "prostitute" in Bangladesh, you must pay an "entry fee" of 300 yuan and write a "voluntary consent form".
This is a Bangladeshi law that all sex workers must go through before entering the industry.
Here, if you can have food, no woman is willing to sell her body, so she has to be a "prostitute", and what kind of (huge) entry fee of 300 yuan is simply a fantasy.
"I will pay 300 entry fees for you, but you owe me, I will add some interest to you, and the money you earn from doing business before you pay off the debt is mine."
In other words, when Naim started this road, instead of making money, he already owed a large amount of "huge money".
Prostitutes in Bangladesh only receive 4 yuan each time, and interest is included, so Naim does not know when he can afford it.
Every day, she wears the brightest makeup and the sexiest outfit, guarding her door, waiting for someone to come.
Every time a guest passed by, other women would flatter her so that the family could choose them, but Naim was very dull, and the guest came and took her hand, and she stupidly walked into the house with the guest.
In this way, 12-year-old Naim became one of them, whether she wanted it or not, having guests meant having money and filling her stomach, and she had reached this point where she had no other way.
Of course, in such places, they also have to deal with overseers, because although sex trafficking is legal here, 12-year-old Naim is a minor.
However, this is all a show, and in the end the overseers will be bribed by the boss.
And the wool is out of the sheep, and the old bustard bribes the overseer's money, and to double the recovery from these minors, she will make these minors double to pick up customers to make up for the loss she bribed the overseer.
Don't think that this line is very profitable, the bottom will never get money, the price of prostitutes in Bangladesh is very cheap, and you can't get the full amount every time, and it is even more difficult to scrape together the 300 yuan entry fee.
A rusty little iron house, a broken bed, is all that every prostitute has.
When receiving guests, these women have no right to resist, no matter how dirty the guests' demands, they must agree to them without reservation.
Moreover, Bangladesh does not have so-called "contraception", those customers will not wear TT at all, plus they have no protective measures, they are easy to get infected with diseases.
As a result, the number of women infected with AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases in prostitutes' villages increases every year. Not to mention, women with unwanted pregnancies abound.
However, according to local regulations in Bangladesh, women are not allowed to have abortions during pregnancy.
But as prostitutes, they don't even know who the child's biological father is, but they can only get a period of rest during childbirth.
As for the offspring they produce, it is even worse.
Giving birth to a girl will be taken over by the bustard, and the fate of the rest of the day, like her own mother, will even be forced to work at the age of 9, and the birth of a boy will be used as a slave.
However, if you are too young to do this work, where can you withstand the ravages of guests?
In such an environment, labor insurance will force these minors to use drugs to ripen their bodies.
Therefore, here, women basically do not live to reach 40 years.
Ironically, in Bangladesh, people believe in Islam and value women's chastity.
Even if they are fortunate enough to be ransomed, the future of these women will be discriminated against.
In recent years, there have been more than 20 "prostitute villages" in Bangladesh, and the group of victimized women has been growing, however, this has long become a major source of income for the Bangladeshi government.
