The brothel in Tangail is the second largest of the country. The overall condition of both the sex workers and their children is miserable. Worst is the position of children. These children are deprived of parents’ affection and have to roam about on the street when their mothers are busy with customers. Thus they go astray and grow up as potential criminals. Their rights to education, health care, entertainment are far cries. Sexual intimidation is also frequent. So are being the adversities the brothel children facing, SSS has established two primary education center at Kandapara brothel area for the children of 3-5 years age.
The target children are being kept all day long in the safe custody of the schools participating in classroom teaching and different games and sports, they are provided with necessary health services, as well. Presently, there are sixty children under such care of the SSS Schools at Kandapara. To bring back in normal life and rehabilitate the juvenile criminals born and brought up in the Tangail brothels, SSS has recently introduced the Youth Development Programme and supporting them to start self-employment IGAs. |
