00:00:13.376 --> 00:00:15.426
Are these street kids still 
studying, Mama?

00:00:15.426 --> 00:00:19.396
Yes. They are in Junior high school, 
Senior high school, and in University.

00:00:20.186 --> 00:00:24.356
Some of them still 
live with their parents.

00:00:27.703 --> 00:00:30.433
Mainly because of their economic needs.

00:00:30.433 --> 00:00:35.063
Also, the assistance they receive from
their parents is not enough.

00:00:37.407 --> 00:00:41.407
When they see their friends
wearing a new skirt, with a new phone

00:00:42.846 --> 00:00:44.276
These things tempt them.

00:00:44.916 --> 00:00:47.776
They get requests like, "Please 
accompany me to the hotel."

00:00:47.776 --> 00:00:51.776
"There is a guest,
you have to be there."

00:00:51.776 --> 00:00:58.486
Some of them oblige as they want to be
like their friends with money.

00:01:00.506 --> 00:01:04.946
"She earns a lot, 
I want to be like her".

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.160
There are environmental factors.

00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:13.840
Some of them are kids
from broken families.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:19.420
Their parents are divorced
and do not care about them

00:01:19.744 --> 00:01:22.244
Such as mothers leaving her children.

00:01:22.244 --> 00:01:25.094
Or a father who married again,
and abandoned his children...

00:01:25.094 --> 00:01:29.094
So there is no one in the family
to take care of these children.

00:01:29.182 --> 00:01:33.242
These children from broken families
eventually, lose their ways.

00:01:33.242 --> 00:01:37.182
Younger street children

00:01:37.833 --> 00:01:41.663
Usually, have a price... 
Around IDR 500k (USD$35)

00:01:42.633 --> 00:01:46.633
If they have to stay a night, the
price is around IDR 1 million (USD #70)

00:01:48.528 --> 00:01:51.318
And they are used over and over again
During the night

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:54.109
When a ship carrying white men comes...

00:01:54.109 --> 00:01:58.859
They get aboard the ship and only come
back when the ship returns again.

00:01:58.933 --> 00:02:03.583
They travel to places like 
Serui, Manokwari, Biak, Sorong...

00:02:04.388 --> 00:02:08.387
And bring along 
one or two new friends

00:02:08.387 --> 00:02:13.177
From other cities to their hometown.

00:02:19.712 --> 00:02:23.712
(Mama Fin's Voice)

00:02:38.443 --> 00:02:40.443
Ma, your hair is untidy.

00:02:40.443 --> 00:02:44.043
- oh no, have to tidy my hair first.
- Mama, don't forget to use lipstick!

00:02:44.207 --> 00:02:47.237
- Mama just uses lipstick.
- What to do? Have to take a photo.

00:02:47.237 --> 00:02:48.577
Give me my book.

00:02:48.577 --> 00:02:54.077
Ouch, don't take my bag in front of 
camera, its bad, just use lipstick.

00:02:56.392 --> 00:02:59.522
Ok, you all can go now. 
I will catch up with you.

00:03:00.761 --> 00:03:03.981
Don't start shooting, 
I haven't finished my make up.

00:03:23.833 --> 00:03:26.833
Those who pay for sex are mostly
our people, Papuans.

00:03:26.833 --> 00:03:34.873
They are usually civil servants, 
businessmen, from the private sector.

00:03:38.228 --> 00:03:39.338
Any government staff?

00:03:39.338 --> 00:03:40.698
Yes, there are.

00:03:41.018 --> 00:03:43.738
The government officials, 
When they come here...

00:03:43.888 --> 00:03:46.528
They come by car...

00:03:47.152 --> 00:03:53.832
And they tell the driver to
look for young girls.

00:03:53.994 --> 00:03:59.444
Because they love to do that
to young girls.

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:03.260
They don't want the "root", 
They want the "vine".

00:04:24.161 --> 00:04:30.355
Most customers do not use a condom.
They do not want to.

00:04:30.355 --> 00:04:34.799
The girls usually bring the condoms
and we teach them about how to use it.

00:04:34.799 --> 00:04:37.699
They usually know how 
to use condoms.

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:43.839
When they go with the customers 
with a car and offer condoms,

00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.829
The customers will first refuse, 
and ask the girls to drink alcohol.

00:04:47.829 --> 00:04:50.089
"Yes, but you have to drink first,"
they say

00:04:50.089 --> 00:04:52.849
"Let's drink first and then go out 
for a ride in the car."

00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:56.849
When the girls get drunk, they 
forget to offer the condoms again.

00:04:56.939 --> 00:05:00.939
And when they manage to use a condom, 
the customers don't want to pay after sex

00:05:01.817 --> 00:05:05.817
Saying that they refused it.

00:05:06.194 --> 00:05:12.814
Reasoning that the rubber met
the flesh. It was not flesh on flesh.

00:05:13.499 --> 00:05:16.389
These girls are in a pitiful situation.
Also, when they are

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:18.380
on the road ...

00:05:20.183 --> 00:05:23.603
they face violence.

00:05:23.603 --> 00:05:25.923
Like, they get hit by the clients.

00:05:25.923 --> 00:05:30.693
When the customers force the girls 
to be drunk .. often times

00:05:31.748 --> 00:05:35.748
their handphones or money 
gets stolen after sex ...

00:05:36.270 --> 00:05:39.230
or they get cheated by customers
after sex...

00:05:39.230 --> 00:05:45.050
"Be patient, baby. Have to go to the ATM" 
And, they just run away.

00:05:46.481 --> 00:05:54.481
usually, after coming back from the hotel,
there are more guys waiting for them.

00:05:54.922 --> 00:05:59.152
They are eager to buy the girls drinks.
If they refuse, they get hit.

00:06:01.241 --> 00:06:04.401
There was a pregnant girl who
had to perform an abortion.

00:06:04.401 --> 00:06:05.151
She died eventually.

00:06:06.063 --> 00:06:09.893
she took medicine, then
got a massage on the belly.

00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:13.210
During the massage, they
stepped on her stomach

00:06:13.210 --> 00:06:17.210
She bled a lot, and then died.

00:06:26.807 --> 00:06:28.947
We act as an extension staff ....

00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:35.749
providing information to 
the girls on the streets.

00:06:37.162 --> 00:06:40.482
We give advice until 
our tongues are tired.

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.639
Yes, but often they say that 
they do it for financial needs.

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.829
They need food, clothes

00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:53.829
And they also subjected to
societal stigma.

00:06:55.895 --> 00:07:02.485
They often say that they are still young
but old enough to sell themselves.

00:07:04.164 --> 00:07:07.624
And more judgmental opinions like this.

00:07:07.624 --> 00:07:11.013
Sometimes, a customer 
brings a girl...

00:07:11.013 --> 00:07:14.893
And there are also other 
customers at the same time ..

00:07:14.893 --> 00:07:16.873
Forced from the condition,
she has to serve them all

00:07:16.873 --> 00:07:19.003
If she serves them, she gets
paid. Right ..?

00:07:19.003 --> 00:07:22.783
A customer says, 
"Let's go for a walk somewhere."

00:07:22.783 --> 00:07:26.903
When they come back, 
They don't have the money to pay her.

00:07:33.708 --> 00:07:37.298
They also have more guests...

00:07:37.298 --> 00:07:39.368
if ...

00:07:39.368 --> 00:07:42.968
they bring the girls to a hotel, 


00:07:44.354 --> 00:07:47.864
Say, they are three pairs 
of men and girls.

00:07:48.747 --> 00:07:52.747
When they are drunk...

00:07:53.782 --> 00:07:57.782
In a drunken state, one man can 
have sex with three girls.

00:07:57.847 --> 00:08:01.077
And these girls also have to serve 
the other men.

00:08:01.077 --> 00:08:11.287
so, there is indiscriminate sex

00:08:11.438 --> 00:08:15.438
I always tell these girls.

00:08:19.026 --> 00:08:23.426
If one of their customers are 
HIV positive,

00:08:23.426 --> 00:08:26.466
then all of the girls would get
HIV too.

00:08:26.822 --> 00:08:31.202
So I ask the government to 
not turn a blind eye to this.

00:08:33.462 --> 00:08:37.383
The government should be aware
of these girls on the street.

00:08:40.563 --> 00:08:45.184
Because they need
the government to ....

00:08:47.384 --> 00:08:50.514
provide alternatives or jobs.

00:08:50.609 --> 00:08:53.579
Such as sweeper or floor cleaner

00:08:53.641 --> 00:09:00.631
Or to provide a foundation that works for 
the girls involved in prostitution

00:09:00.937 --> 00:09:06.587
the government should not wait for
outsiders to provide help.

00:09:07.297 --> 00:09:13.067
They should create programs to prevent HIV/
AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases

00:09:14.141 --> 00:09:16.661
for the girls in prostitution
on the streets ...

00:09:16.661 --> 00:09:22.011
The local Govt. should be paying attention
to this, they have to know...

00:09:22.986 --> 00:09:26.986
Because this is really happening, and
the government should know that...

00:09:26.986 --> 00:09:30.646
As some of their officials transport
the girls by car to hotels.

00:09:32.413 --> 00:09:35.053
Officials with a
dark-tinted car.

00:09:35.053 --> 00:09:37.343
"Girl, come inside the car!"

00:09:37.956 --> 00:09:41.956
What a pity!
They are the next generation.

00:09:41.956 --> 00:09:45.526
It is us who must pay attention to them,
the next generation.

00:09:45.526 --> 00:09:48.976
If not us, who else would 
work for our land?

00:09:49.810 --> 00:09:53.810
If these girls die because of HIV
What's the future?

00:09:55.149 --> 00:09:57.829
(Mama Fin's Voice)

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:01.920
Present:

00:10:02.413 --> 00:10:05.433
Thank you
