The children trapped in Bangladesh's brothel village

Daulatdia is an entire village in Bangladesh dedicated to prostitution. Every day, 1,600 trafficked, enslaved and abandoned women and girls sell themselves for £2 a time.

In the midst of the trade live 300 children, many born in the village. Some will be groomed to be the future of the business like their mothers and grandmothers.

But with education programmes and support provided by Save The Children, a few may find their way out.
