The abandoned children of Kamalapur

2020-07-02 20:35:04

Kamalapur is the central railway station in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

It is the main communication center between Dhaka and the rest of the country. But together with the trains and their passengers, it is the refuge and home where street children survive, who either abandoned by their families who cannot support them, orphaned or fled from abuse, survive as best they can. Lost, annoying and conflictive children for a society that has turned its back on them. Children who for the most part seek refuge in the drugs that keep them high and take them away from lucidity and their harsh reality: they are children without hope and without a future.
