Born Into Brothels: A Critical Discussion of the Rights of the off-Springs of Sex-Workers and their Exploitation in Bangladesh

Abstract

Bangladesh is classified as a developing nation with the vast majority of its people falling into lower socioeconomic brackets. Children that are conceived and brought up in prostitution houses constitute a significant portion of the population that falls into the vulnerable category. These children are subjected to discrimination and challenges in enjoying their basic human rights from the moment they are born. The objective of this dissertation is to shed light on the question of whether or not the law in Bangladesh is appropriate or well-equipped to assist this group of children in preventing them from being denied from their rights as persons.
