I spent some time in Bangladesh in December visiting with people working to fight human trafficking and help remove girls from brothels. Disturbing, beautiful work. So much to think about, and Bangladesh has been on my mind 24-7 since then.
Did you know that...
Bangladesh has the 4th largest Muslim population on earth.
Other than city-states and small islands, Bangladesh is by far the most densely populated country on earth, with 2900 people per square mile! That's 160 million people in an area smaller than either Nepal or the US state of Iowa. I still can't get my mind around these numbers.
Bangladesh is situated on the world's largest river delta, making it one of the most fertile countries on earth and home to frequent monsoon flooding.
