JESSORE, BANGLADESH – NOVEMBER 23, 2017: A Bangladeshi sex worker poses for photo at a brothel in Jessore, Bangladesh. Bangladesh has over 200,000 sex workers, many of them underage. It's illegal for those under 18 to work in the industry, which exists in a legal grey zone where brothels are neither banned nor fully lawful. Many hide their real age, and the "mamas" in charge of the girls – many of whom are former sex workers themselves – often give them prescription drugs for animals making their bodies sturdier and chubbier.
