NSTworld “If we were informed beforehand, we could have tried to save up as much as possible. Now many of us have to take loans to not stay hungry” Covid19 Dhaka Bangladesh

More than 1,500 sex workers are based at the Daulatdia brothel, about 100 km west of Dhaka, which is one of about 12 officially sanctioned brothels in the South Asian country, and receives an estimated 5,000 customers every day.

But women working at Daulatdia appealed for immediate help, saying they no longer had money to pay for food for themselves or their children due to the sudden closure of the brothel. Sex work is legal in Bangladesh although it is considered immoral by many in the Muslim-majority nation of about 160 million people, which has so far reported three deaths from Covid-19 with at least 33 other confirmed cases.
