Dhaka’s Floating Sex Workers Under Attack: Allegations of Violence and Forced Eviction

A wave of violence has engulfed Dhaka’s floating sex workers, with recent allegations of brutal beatings and forced evictions. Video footage circulating online shows young men attacking sex workers on the streets, claiming their actions are aimed at driving prostitutes out of the city.

According to Kalyanmayi Nari Sangh, a local women’s rights organization, at least 60 female sex workers have been victims of these attacks since last August. One woman, who requested anonymity, alleged that she was severely beaten and coerced into leaving the sex profession.

The assaults, often carried out in broad daylight, have instilled fear and insecurity among the vulnerable community of floating sex workers. Many fear for their safety and livelihoods, as they are forced to relocate or abandon their profession altogether.

The incident raises serious concerns about the safety and well-being of sex workers in Dhaka. Experts argue that such violence is not only a violation of human rights but also contributes to the stigmatization and marginalization of this vulnerable population.

As the situation continues to unfold, calls for increased protection and support for floating sex workers are growing louder. Advocates are urging authorities to investigate the attacks, bring perpetrators to justice, and implement measures to ensure the safety and dignity of this marginalized community.
