Abstract
The study explores the nature of violence against sex workers in Bangladesh and their challenges. The study was conducted in Tangail Brothel, which is the largest brothel in Bangladesh. This is a primary study, and a quantitative method was employed to find out the real facts from sex workers at Tangail brothel. The findings of the study show that women face multiple acts of violence including physical, verbal, and sexual abuse. Furthermore, pressures for minimum earnings, lack of legal and medical support, and discards of social movements are the main challenges of sex workers. The study recommends that governments, authorities, human rights organizations, and law enforcement agencies should pay more attention to preventing such violence and establishing their human rights.
