Daulatdia (Bengali: দৌলতদিয়া) is a village in Rajbari District, Bangladesh which is the largest brothel in Bangladesh, and has been called one of the largest brothels in the world. It is one of 20 officially sanctioned brothels in the country opening around 1988, although it was unofficially in existence for decades prior. Estimates of the number of sex workers in the village range from 1,300 to 2,000. Daulatdia services more than 3,000 men daily; these men can pay for sex, take drugs and gamble. It is located less than 40 km from two official Indian border crossings at Darshana/Gede (south) as well as Kutubpur/Teinpur (north).
