As you can see behind us
This is what we call the Lapindo mudflow
Fluid hot mud forming a pool
This is the birthland of my children
(Sobbing)
Where my parents are buried
This is where my extended family used to live.
But in mere seconds,
everything that were once here perished, destroyed
Do you notice that the women in this area are so strong?
It's because we were hit by the hardest strike
We had to leave, evicted
Dare you ask where was the government?
No sign of their existence.
Truthfully, we needed support
we needed friends at that time
but who came for us?
No one.
We stay.
the fates of our children, grandchildren, are all we can think about
Children should stay in school.
Therefore we take stroke after stroke
We take how society undermine our existence
We stay strong
We stand united
although we were removed from history
I see women here feeling my pain
they too, feel what we feel
I truly hope what happened in Porong do not happen in other places
may no one receive this kind of treatment
enough, stop until here.
Let only us that felt this problem
Please, don't do this to other places
Defend your place,
Embrace your land,
Defend your birth place,
because they considered we do not exist only now
Why do you think I said something like this?
Because the Government don't give back our rights,
This is what we felt up until now.
Some children have born with some difficulties,
because their parents were working in this are
they were inhaled this smelling mud area
exposed to heat
but the Government really didn't want to care
Do you want to destroy our future generation?
because of this Lapindo Brantas Company
Friends, let us become strong, become unifying,
We build a powerful women movement and show that
women are not weak.
Women are strong. We truly are strong.
Let's beat this Government.
Let's beat this State.
They exist because of us, but when
we got troubled, we are they?
They are only present themselves to mining company
not the people
