Bangladesh: Perils of Tourism

Categories: South Asia, Bangladesh, Law, Youth

Unheard Voices [1] points to the experience of tourism in other countries and warns of similar consequences in Bangladesh. “I fear Bangladesh faces similar fate like the neighboring countries as tourism develops there unless measures are in place to deter child sex trade catered to foreign tourists. Based on a report by Global March, there are already about 20 thousand children involved in street prostitution in Bangladesh though I suspect the actual number being much higher.”
