These huge prostitutes have been devastated in the last one and a half year due to lockdown. Amid uncertainty of them how the children are growing up here?

Where life is passing through dirty environment, the new borns have to stay in dark rooms. Growing up in that dark alley after birth, there in . It is heard, sometimes alcohol is poured in the mouth instead of milk in childhood. The story of life is just full of darkness. Where children grow up watching colorful drinks on a colorful night.

At the age when children sit on their mother's lap and fall asleep listening to sleep songs, many have to take shelter in a in a house outside the brothels, if the mother's economic condition is good.

After having parents, one has to stay without guardians. It has psychological effects in childhood. At the age when the book is supposed to be in their hands, the children of the largest brothels of the country have become addicted to horrible drugs like death by darkening the future. Parents do not have time to see themselves, how cruel life is there for them.
Sumaiya, Bipasha, Chadni, Rimi, how old are they, maybe three or four stars are in day night care, what an innocent smile. Being an orphan at this age.

There are about twenty liquor spots or dance bars inside the Daulatdia prostitute village to entertain the customers. There is a dance hall for little girls. Those girls later got involved in prostitution at a very young age. The home guardians played the role of invisible supplier in that work. In the 21st century, there is a landlords system. That is, the landlords who has twenty houses. The landlords became the first buyers of the newcomers. There are also hundreds of shops in Gaza, as well as floating heroin and yaba. In most cases, it is the children and adolescents of the prostitutes who are involved. Children and adolescents are used in most cases.

Even then, the number of child sex workers is increasing in Daulatdia
The number of child sex workers in the country's largest prostitute village at Daulatdia in Rajbari is increasing day by day. A class of middlemen has formed here under the umbrella of influential rural landlords. The cycle brings ordinary girl children from different parts of the country to the brothels in various ways with the dust in the eyes of the law. Then the mothers here bring their children to this profession in the hope of making more profit. They don't listen to anyone. There are about fifty sex workers here who are both mothers and daughters involved in this profession.
According to the country's customary law, forcing a minor to engage in sex work is strictly prohibited, but local law enforcement agencies are not taking notice. At present about five thousand sex workers live in this village. Among them are more than five hundred child and adolescent sex workers.
