Sex Slavery

Sex slavery involves males and females, both adults and children, and constitutes an estimated 58 percent of all trafficking activities. It consists of different types of servitude, including forced prostitution, pornography, child sex rings, and sex-related occupations such as nude dancing and modeling.

Britannica

Sex slavery involves the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in commercial sex acts. Key points include:

  1. Coercion and Control: Victims are manipulated or forced into sex work against their will. This can involve physical, psychological, or emotional coercion, including threats, violence, or manipulation.

  2. Trafficking: Often, sex slavery involves human trafficking, where victims are transported or moved across borders or within a country for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

  3. Lack of Consent: Victims do not willingly participate in sex work; they are subjected to it due to various forms of coercion, making their consent invalid.

  4. Vulnerability: Many victims come from vulnerable backgrounds—poverty, homelessness, lack of education, or previous trauma—which makes them more susceptible to being targeted by traffickers.

  5. Global Issue: Sex slavery is a global problem, existing in various forms and scales across different countries and regions.

  6. Illegal and Criminal: It’s a severe violation of human rights and is considered illegal and criminalized under international law and most national legal systems.

  7. Complexity: Addressing sex slavery requires a multifaceted approach involving law enforcement, victim support services, education, advocacy, and policies to combat human trafficking and protect victims.

  8. Impact: The physical and psychological impact on victims is severe and long-lasting, often leading to trauma, mental health issues, and difficulties in reintegrating into society even after rescue or escape.

  9. Demand and Profit: The demand for commercial sex fuels this industry, making it profitable for traffickers and those who exploit victims.

  10. Need for Awareness and Action: Raising awareness, supporting anti-trafficking initiatives, and advocating for policies that protect vulnerable populations are crucial in combatting sex slavery.

It’s an extremely grave issue that necessitates global cooperation, stringent laws, and comprehensive support systems to eradicate it and assist survivors in recovery and reintegration into society.

1 Sex, Slavery, and Drugs in Bangladesh

Back to menu

4 feb. 2015

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.
 
Harsh Chauhan
Tania Rashid has some balls to go deep in this world. legendary journalism.
Matcha Goblin
The girl who “came here happily” had more sadness within her than I’ve seen in a long long time.
Anwesha Barua
That line ‘Is this life? I wish I was not alive”. Every morning we wake up. cursing our misfortunes and deeds but seeing these innocent girls, I have nothing to say. This will really haunt me forever.
Puneet Kumar
Got tears in my eyes when that women said… “Man come here give me money , have thier fun. But there is no one who love me. “
Shaer Ahmed
I’m a Bangladeshi and I never knew about this dark side. I was shivering the whole time. and when the girl said “I wish I was not alive” that was truly devastating. some are complaining about the translation, but what they really should be complaining about is, why this has never come out to the local media and why no steps are being taken to eradicate this grievous problem
Steven Paul jobs
“Without money I’m worthless” that is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.
Ashiqur Rahman Mallik
Am a Bangladeshi and i have been following vice documentaries for years now. As much as am disturbed after watching this, I wanna know what step can we take in order to make their lives easy if possible different. Let’s talk about the possibilities for maki. I wanna be a part of something like this. As a viewer, I wanna thank Vice and it’s entire team and especially Tania Rashid for bringing this up as I didn have any knowledge of it at all. As an individual Bangladeshi, lets talk ideas and work it out together for our own selves
RiBo
You can see the rage in Tania (the reporter) when she interviews Kareem (the regular guy) about his pleasure he gets with young girls. Personally I don’t think I’d have controlled my anger as much as she did for the sake of professionalism while reporting.
Shreejukta Basu
The whole documentary is just mind blowing just can’t imagine the situation where these girls live. A huge respect to the girl and the camera man did a great job 👍👍
Jawad Bhuiyan
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…
Yasmin Khan
I lived in Bangladesh for an entire year and it’s even more heart breaking when you see all this in the flesh.
Shai Ariana
“When I was beautiful like you.” No, baby, you’re still beautiful.
Adrien Perié
“They are men, so they beat us”. Saddest, most revealing thing I’ve heard in a while.
RADIO FREE ACAB
Crowds of unwashed men standing around staring at this reporter, wondering if they’ll get a chance to cut her off from the people she’s with and have their way with her. Absolutely disgusting country, and a very brave young woman.
Captain Skeleton
It’s a true picture of Bangladesh, especially in some parts. We town folks just pretend not to see this bad side of the society. Feeling so bad. But young peoples like me will change the scenario in upcoming years. We will and we have to. 🙁
meenon asmr
“I wish I was not alive” this is so heartbreaking my tears wouldn’t stop falling down my face
Clay Drummond
I love how caring she is while interviewing ❤
Jean Andre
You can tell the journalist is really concerned for these women. Its sad
Nasif Ahmed
I am a Bangladeshi. When I search Bangladesh in YouTube . this video comes at top.. It hurts me.
Shayana Haque
One of the most eye-opening and revealing parts of being in touch with your Bangladeshi identity is coming across these documentaries and having to learn about these issues from the internet because your parents only paint Bangladesh as a proud nation that gained its independence from Pakistan and nothing else. They will teach you the language and the culture and hand down the Bangladeshi pride over our mother tongue despite knowing everything about Daulatdia and Bangladesh’s sex work industry but of course, this part of Bangladesh isn’t as important as the rest…
Vika Grindle
The woman claiming she came here on her own and is happy sounded like she was reading a script at gun point… I wonder how many times the “Madam” beat those words into her head and threatened to kill her and her family if she said anything different during that interview. So disgusting. It’s videos like this that make me question our views on cultural relativism. At what point is “well it’s there culture they can do what they want” still relevant? 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”. Maybe I’m crazy but I can in no way think that and I think it’s a complete cop out to think that way.
Abi Zolanski
“I was still beautiful like you” Sweetheart you are still beautiful today. I hope she’s okay. What an angel. 👼🏾💘😪
MOTHER
I almost started crying while watching this. I feel so much for those poor girls. I hope they’ll get a better life soon.
Dionisia Palacio
“I don’t have anyone here who loves me” I can’t even imagine living like that. So heartbreaking!
Mac Lew
So heartbreaking.    Young innocent girls who should be leading young innocent girl lives are instead thrown into this sick world.   Just heartbreaking.     But, fwiw, I will say that I thought this reporter (Tania Rashid?) did an outstanding job on this piece.
Al-Montarish Ratul
Thank you for representing the Real Situation of Bangladesh. Our Government should Learn from your Documentary so that we can Achieve The Golden Bangla. I am appreciating this job from the deepest bottom of My heart. Thank you Vice News
M 💀
10:13 that scene broke my heart. She says she feels good there but it is very obvious that she doesn’t feel good at all. She probably forced a smile because the madame would have punished her otherwise. If there was a hell, it would be right there.
Ashley LaRose
I feel horrible. I feel sick after watching this. Those poor girls, those terrible living conditions, those disgusting clients, and the low-lives who profit off of these girls’ misery. :'(
Tamim Ariful
As a Bangladeshi myself, it breaks my heart to see this cuz all my life, i was never even aware that shits like these are happening in my country. And i hate it so much that these scums are representing us in this kind of a messed up way. From birth i was taught that all these are illegal and cannot be happening in Bangladesh at all. I mean, just consuming normal alcohol requires a legal license for God’s sake. Watching this video made me horrified and my blood boil…. And i definitely blame the government for this, because of their manipulation the general public are not even aware of this situation. Like they’re brainwashed or something, like i was. Hope that one day Almighty Allah will destroy them for good.
Syeda Hussain
Oh my goodness, I’m a Bangladeshi American and I had no idea that this was happening in Bangladesh. The men are so disgusting for doing that to innocent young women. Thank you Tania for reporting about this. You’re the real MVP
Selva Rajan
Madam, you had done a great job taking out the social injustice of young women to this society. You have sown a seed to people who can stand against such injustice in their society, hats off👍
Ilsa Zahid
hats off to the girl who dared to document this!
BamaBabii
that one girl who said she was fed medicine and is not ugly and her beauty faded. she is still very stunning. its sad that she is stuck there. that other girl who said that she was happy there…you can look into her eyes and tell that she isnt happy.
Fridtjof Nansen
10:36… I think the only thing more emotional than seeing someone cry is seeing someone hold back tears. That girl was trying to keep whatever dignity she had in a very destitute situation. This is probably the most powerful documentary on prostitution after whores glory…
Zahara Rontos
The interviewer is really amazing .. direct to the point in questioning… praying for all the girls experiencing this kind of life..
It's me
My heart goes out to these girls. Life can be so cruel when you have no resources 💔💔💔💔
John Waterson
This was an incredibly well done, heart-wrenching, informative and professionally done story. The journalist was fantastic too. I really enjoy her work.
Hendra Aza
“A lot of men come to see us, it’s very bad world. Isn’t it a sin? is this a life? I wish I was not alive” that was tough feeling

my heart gos out to these girls.

This young journalism is really brave. Thank you for this heart breaking documentary..May god save this place, the people especially the women and the children.

I love this reporter. She was so gentle and caring
Shan Hussain
Are you sure she said Ventolin? Ventolin is Salbutamol and prepared as an inhaler. It’s mainly used to treat asthma. I’ve never heard of Ventolin being used to drug people, and I’m a pharmacist.
Nessy B
How heartbreaking. I wish these women knew they were worth something and what they are doing isnt sinful. So much feelings and things to say after watching this.
Maharaj Mukherjee
And lots of love and respect to you mam. I hope everyone felt proud and a huge respect for you soo did I, after watching this true efforts of yours and achieving possibly most hardest journey.
Candace S.
Hearing that young woman in the beginning talk about how she used to be beautiful like the reporter just broke my heart. I feel for some of these younger women who were drugged or kidnapped into brothels like these. I can’t imagine having to live a life so horrible, not being able to love freely and have a career/live your dreams. My heart goes out to these beautiful women.
Journey to the Dream
I am a Bangladeshi, and certainly this is a new information for me. Heard about brothel in BANGLADESH, just didn’t imagine this big. Can’t believe govt is allowing this circus going on
winter32842
I am from Bangladesh. Couple of things. 1) I don’t know when this documentary was made but prostitution is currently legal in one district (out of 64 district); before it was legal throughout whole Bangladesh. 2) Translation was not accurate; I would say it was rough translation. They did get the basic meaning right. The worst translation was at 5:15 “they are men, so they beat us”. She actually said “They are men, so you understand” (she was referring to being bitten when they kiss).
prsunday
Thank you Tania for sharing such an important story. I cant imagine how you managed to walk through the place with such vile men staring at you, it takes a very strong person and even stronger will. I wish we could change that about people who objectify people just because they feel they can. 
Peanut GutterButter
At 18:44 when they started talking about younger girls I was really triggered. Hearing that 14 year old girls are forced to be with men like him is just abominable.
Kaidi
I am an Indian and the fact is these sort of issues are prevalent across our country as well, but if any foreign journalists try to do a honest portrayal, it’d be refuted as lies by the ignorant masses across the internet and the video probably have a bad like to dislike ratio. No hate for my own country, just want to highlight the intolerance
yoloswaginator
Kudos to Vice News for making this incredibly intense and unadorned documentary. It seems so petrifying because of the absurd candidness and equanimity customers exhibit when they are asked how they feel about the atrocities they facilitate. This place is literal hell on earth, and it makes my heart break seing what these people have to endure.
Tamera Ramlal
This was so sad to look at 😰 my heart goes out to those girls

It’s really shame for us… shame for our nation. I’m also bangladeshi… before watching this documentary I haven’t any idea about this brothel about this place….look at this place it’s hell….God please save them.

Vice is doing great job showing reality to the world
 
Mohammad Rabbi
as i bangladeshi it’s very shameful see this…….
Paul Meuse
Thank you, for the education Tania Rashid. Nothing surprises me; I was in the Vietnam War, and anyone who thinks that the USA or West is better, or more moral should educate themselves. The modern beginning of the child sex trade and prostitution in Thailand has its roots in the US occupation of Thailand during the Vietnam War. There was a demand, and the demand was met by suppliers. Outside of every Marine and naval base I was ever at were brothels and or prostitutes.
Durbar Dhrubho
As A Bangladeshi…Don’t Know What To Say About This Dark Side😔…May Allah Protect Everyone

I feel worse watching this than any other documentaries on this type of subject because it’s my language, my country and it hurts to see so many innocents suffer like this.
Luke B
These women’s stories break my heart. I’m old enough to know the ways of the world but it’s places like this that are painful to even learn of. What does the U.N. or the U.S. say of all this? Something must be done. No one can day this is “cultural.” only if by that they mean all cultures have this capability of evil, there just must be enough good people to push it back.
Moe Rahman
This is the country my parents ran from. My heart breaks because I can’t rescue my people.
Vehara Rupasinghe
The words that some of these girls say are breaking my heart. When one said that she used to be beautiful like her, I was just like you are beautiful. and when one said she came here happily her eyes spoke so much sadness

i’m a REAL feminist because i know that the patriarchy in america is nothing compared to poor countries like bangladesh. most feminists just believe in small things like not shaving or not getting catcalled. the issues in bangladesh deeply hurt my feelings but so many choose to ignore.

Thank you Tania Rashid for this. I never knew such distressing works are being carried out. Can we please have update of how these girls are leading there life now after all these years.

Good documentary, but as a journalist, she should of maintained a neutral and respectful tone when talking to that young man who was brave enough to show his face and talk honestly, or she’ll scare away further contacts like that.
Josue Garcia
Tania is spectacular, professional, brave and intelligent. I don’t think I’ve seen a single one of her reports that she wasn’t an absolute stellar reporter.

This really hurts my heart 💔
Raisha Hussain
I’m bengali living in britain and watching this saddens me so much, since from my perspective I can see both modern british culture and bengali culture I can honestly say that the men taking advantage of this horrible service are a result of the sexually repressed culture of arranged marriage that is only just taking a modern turn if at all, the sexes are completely segregated even within some families. like excuse me if I’m wrong about anything I’m saying but if sex before marriage was acceptable in bengali society then perhaps these men wouldn’t resort to this. regardless of all of that the cycle is sick, the “customers” are sick, and the young women need help. you can say all you want about western feminism & fighting against rape culture but I do believe that it’s definitely needed both in the west and in places like bangladesh. do you think the girls who went there “willingly” thought this would be their dream job? the culture in bangladesh also forces rape victims and women who have had sex before marriage out of their homes, they are shunned from society and then they end up in places like this. they literally have the choice of either work as a sex worker or die if starvation and abandonment so if women in the western world are still being blamed for being sexually assaulted, how do you expect these women in this video to get justice? they think what’s happening to them is normal! if there isn’t a change here how will things change over there?

I feel so sorry for the girls, like what they’ve said “who wants this nasty job”. I know that they are only doing this for survival, and worse is that most of them were just abducted and brought to the brothel. If this was me I rather die than live in a life like hell.

vinnodhini murugays
It is my very humble opinion that maybe you should censor the girl’s image than exposing her naked body in the video. I think it is wrong to let the whole world see her naked body as I believe that one of the objective of this video is to protect women so maybe we should first do our part by censoring her naked image. Do correct me if I am wrong though. Besides that, kudos to the team for bringing the attention of the public to issues like this. This is really painful.

Idk what they want, but they just focus on bad things!

Heart breaking!!!! Such young girls, women being shipped in to this heinous hell, just for men’s pleasure. It’s a disgrace that men sleep with these sex slaves, without any comparison to help save them in any way! They see them as commodity, but they are people, women, girls. I cannot believe that this still goes on today in 21st c.

If you can understand Bengali, it will hit and break your heart even more. I cannot believe that guy who loves to sleep with young girls and the man who lures them with jobs and are so proud of it. No guilt at all. Sick

2 Sex tourists in Thailand | DW Documentary

5 dec 2023

Thailand’s resort town of Pattaya is still a center of international sex tourism. Since the coronavirus is no longer an obstacle to travel, hundreds of thousands of men from all over the world are again flocking to the country in search of women and sex.

Go-go bars, seedy massage parlors and plenty of open-air beer stalls with scantily clad young women: All this is part of the draw for sex tourists of all ages, here in the coastal metropolis of Pattaya on Thailand’s west coast. After a pandemic pause, sex tourism is returning to what passes for normal here.

One German tourist sums it up for the camera: “Why are we all here? Here you get more sex for less money!” A younger German doesn’t agree: “I’m not looking for sex here, I’m looking for love,” says Stefan, complaining that his numerous conquests are always after his money in the end.

The “red light vacationers” have been waiting for two years: Pattaya’s huge entertainment district lay completely fallow due to Covid-19. For the city’s approximately 60,000 sex workers, this was a threatening situation. Because the Thai state generates billions in tax revenue from the sex business, but prostitution is officially banned, those working in the trade were excluded from all government aid programs. Take sex worker Aom, for example. She became pregnant by a German client who initially swore to stand by her, before abandoning her with the baby. Now Aom is using a lawyer to try to at least enforce child support payments, while she continues to work in the sex trade. “I’m done with German clients,” she says.

The documentary delves into Pattaya’s red-light scene — and documents a lot of hypocrisy. Some German sex tourists convince themselves that their payments ensure the survival of impoverished Thai families. One restaurant owner from northern Germany tells the filmmakers that the girls only stand on the side of the road in such short skirts because of the warm weather here.
Tour operators also earn money from the sex business, even if they don’t like to talk about it. All of them have Pattaya in their program. German tour operators are proud of the fact that they have signed a commitment to take action against child prostitution. But who monitors that?

The coronavirus lockdown massively aggravated the problem of abuse. In the red-light district of Pattaya, where according to local officials there is no longer any prostitution of minors, the film team comes across evidence of pedophilia crimes. And a German national who is still able to leave the country shortly after his arrest. How can this be? When it comes to this important issue, is international cooperation actually delivering?

“Kandapara” is one of the oldest brothels in Bangladesh. Here, both deceived and willing young women enter, sharing the same fate of losing their freedom.

Once they become sex workers, they have no right to leave and must work until they pay off their debts to the bawd.

Despite the legalization of prostitution in Bangladesh, life for the sex workers here is suffering, and many continue working until death within the walls of this brothel.

The Sad History Of Bangladesh prostitute villages | Documentary

In a place called Kandapara, this photograph captures the stark reality of a community ensnared in the harsh grip of prostitution. Here, more than 1,000 women reside, their lives entangled in a relentless cycle of serving clients. In this area, prostitution is deemed legal, while the act of abortion remains forbidden. The village has earned the somber title of the “Village of Prostitutes,” where countless children grow up burdened by the weight of their uncertain paternity.
For these children, the knowledge that awaits them at the tender age of nine is a future inherited from their mothers—a life marred by dependency on medication, vulnerability to diseases, and a persistent struggle against poverty. The community itself comprises over 600 interconnected rooms, each providing shelter for the sex workers who labor within its confines. The plight of these women has attracted the attention of journalists, both local and international, who have ventured into Kandapara to expose the tragic reality that unfolds here.
One such exposé came from The Guardian, a British newspaper, which aired a documentary unmasking the lives of these prostitutes and bringing their plight to the forefront of global consciousness. However, despite the efforts to shed light on their circumstances, the authorities in Bangladesh hold a different perspective. In March 2000, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh made a decision that legalized sex work within the boundaries of Kandapara. This legal recognition led to rapid development in the village, propelling it to become one of the largest government-acknowledged brothel areas among the 20 designated villages.
Within the confines of these brothels, sex workers are obligated to obtain licenses, and clients engage in prostitution under the purview of the law. However, it is important to distinguish between the legality of the profession itself and the process by which individuals become sex workers. Investigations from various countries have revealed distressing evidence that a significant majority of the prostitutes in Kandapara have been trafficked or forcibly taken from their homes, often originating from neighboring countries like Nepal, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Shockingly, some are even sold into this life by their own parents, a heartbreaking betrayal.

10 Terrible Chaotic Sex Lives Of Slave Owners

13 nov 2023
 
Fertility rates of black females were seminal to demographic analyses which stressed the adverse effects of sugar monoculture on family and mating patterns of slaves. Two such studies have yielded valuable insights into the lives of women under slavery but only marginally addressed these vital issues from the slave’s perspective. The history of British slavery has been buried. The thousands of British families who grew rich on the slave trade or from the sale of slave-produced sugar in the 17th and 18th centuries brushed those uncomfortable chapters of their dynastic stories under the carpet. Today, across the country, heritage plaques on Georgian townhouses describe former slave traders as West India merchants, while slave owners are hidden behind the equally euphemistic term West India planter. Thousands of biographies written in celebration of notable 17th and 18th-century Britons have reduced their ownership of human beings to footnotes or else expunged such unpleasant details altogether.

Slavery in America was deeply entrenched from the colonial era through the ‘antebellum’ period, subjecting enslaved Africans to forced labor and degradation. The term “Antebellum” refers to the period before the American Civil War, marked by distinct social, economic, and political characteristics that contributed to the conflict.

This era saw significant growth, industrialization, westward expansion, and intense debates over slavery. The Antebellum South was characterized by the defense of slavery as a positive good, with Southern leaders shifting from viewing it as embarrassing to embracing it. The emergence of the abolitionist movement during this time faced strong opposition from those defending the institution of slavery.
