Description:
For the sex workers in Daulatdia Ghat, in Rajbari, Bangladesh, freedom is a dichotomy. Their profession has freed them from the ordeals of poverty with the price of giving up freedom over their bodies. They are condemned to be freed from average norms and rules because sex workers are not free to live in regular society. Yet they have one freedom remaining to them that asks no price: they are free to dream. They dream that they are birds and go wherever their imagination takes them. They dream they are living the lives of their fantasies. Their dreams are requiems for true freedom. Part of the photo feature Requiem For Freedom, by Masud Alam Liton. April 24, 2008.
