My name is Rully Malay
I am a busker of transvestites
And I survived with this way
like my friends survive
it is with busking way
Busking for transvestites is
a way to survive
with an art work
entertain to others
and have provided a living
livelihood for them
for decades
Transvestites working with busking way because the country can't
facilitate their basic rights
as a human
as well as citizens
unity of the Republic of Indonesia
we know that
in Yogyakarta Special Region
more than 360 transvestites were recorded
in database
and almost 70%
their job is buskers
and they have no better choice
to survive
Then since the assessment camp was established
in 2014 until now
more than 30 people were arrested
Then since the Government
of Special Region of Yogyakarta
Establish Regional Regulation NO.1 of 2014
busking
considered an act of begging
and trampling
whereas in substance
the meaning of busking clearly is an art work
For the government
through the Transtip (security of Yogyakarta region) Service
the transvestite buskers were arrested
then forcibly taken
to camp assessment
and told to make a confession
as a social problem
even though they are
clearly domiciled in one area
in the Yogyakarta Special Region
then have a place to live
then they have a job
their job is as a busker
When they are arrested
detained
without trial process
and without a fixed time
when they come out
their economic life becomes
back at zero
they lost their homes
because maybe a boarding house
no longer allow
because it's already late paying the boarding house
they cannot fulfill
daily living needs
of course they also have responsibilities
In my perspective
that there is state negligence
in fulfilling human rights
for the transvestite friends
the state should be
has three constitutional obligations
First,
The state must respect human rights
then the second
The state must be able to
protect all citizens
then the state has an obligation
to fulfill human rights
it is one of the mandates
in act No. 39 of 1999
about human rights
and this is in line
with the national goal of the Indonesian Nation
contained inside
1945 Constitution
