This paper attempts to highlight some aspects of prostitution in Bangladesh. Data of this paper was mainly collected from two brothel areas of Dhaka and Nara- yanganj. This paper is part of a study which aimed at investigating into the possibilities of rehabilitating prostitutes by looking into their backgrounds and the operation of prostitution in the brothels. Specifically, this paper provides some ethnographic data on brothel prostitution. In this study we have defined prostitution as the granting of sexual access on a relatively indiscri- minate basis for payment either in money or in goods.
