Description:
Cuddled inside a plastic bag, two children sleep on a roundabout near Sadarghat Ferry Terminal in Old Dhaka. There are hundreds of children who take refuge in the big buildings of Kamlapur Railway Station and Sadarghat Ferry Terminal. They try to earn a living by helping passengers carry their luggage to and from their trains and boats, or by selling cigarettes and fruit on the ferries. They sleep in a group, almost on top of each other, in order to protect themselves. Men, older street children, drug addicts, even policemen, often try to use them sexually. Many children have been victims of such sexual violence, but find it hard to admit openly. Bangladesh.
