This story about the oldest brothel in Bangladesh may not be suitable for all listeners. The woman who runs the place was trafficked into the sex industry at age of 12. Today, she oversees the sprawling settlement that is home to 600 women and girls. The story comes to us from “The Intelligence,” a podcast from our partners at the Economist.
