1
00:00:13,376 --> 00:00:15,426
Are these street kids still 
studying, Mama?

2
00:00:15,426 --> 00:00:19,396
Yes, they are. In Junior high school, 
Senior high school, even in University.

3
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:24,356
Some of them still 
live with their parents.

4
00:00:27,703 --> 00:00:30,433
Mainly because of their economic needs.

5
00:00:30,433 --> 00:00:35,063
Also, the assistance they receive from
their parents is not enough to sustain.

6
00:00:37,407 --> 00:00:41,407
When they look at their friends
who have a new skirt, new phone

7
00:00:42,846 --> 00:00:44,276
These things tempt them.

8
00:00:44,916 --> 00:00:47,776
Get requests like "You have to 
accompany me to the hotel."

9
00:00:47,776 --> 00:00:51,776
"There is a guest,
you have to be there."

10
00:00:51,776 --> 00:00:58,486
Some of them oblige as they want to
be like the friends who bring much money.

11
00:01:00,506 --> 00:01:04,946
"She earns a lot, 
so I also can be like her",

12
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,160
Environmental factor...

13
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Some of them are children
from broken families.

14
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:19,420
Their parents have divorced
and left them

15
00:01:19,744 --> 00:01:22,244
It can be a mother leaving her children.

16
00:01:22,244 --> 00:01:25,094
Or a father who married again
and abondoned his children...

17
00:01:25,094 --> 00:01:29,094
So there was none in the family
to take care of these children.

18
00:01:29,182 --> 00:01:33,242
and finally, the (broken family) children 
lose their ways.

19
00:01:33,242 --> 00:01:37,182
Children who are young ...

20
00:01:37,833 --> 00:01:41,663
usually, have a price 
around IDR 500k (USD$35)

21
00:01:42,633 --> 00:01:46,633
If they have to stay one night, the
price is around IDR 1 million (USD #70)

22
00:01:48,528 --> 00:01:51,318
and they are used over and over again

23
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:54,109
When the ship carrying white men comes...

24
00:01:54,109 --> 00:01:58,859
they get aboard the ship and come back
when the ship returns.

25
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:03,583
they travel to places like 
Serui, Manokwari, Biak, Sorong...

26
00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:08,387
And bring one or two of their friends

27
00:02:08,387 --> 00:02:13,177
from other cities to their hometown.

28
00:02:19,712 --> 00:02:23,712
Mama Fin's Voice

29
00:02:38,443 --> 00:02:40,443
Ma, your hair is untidy.

30
00:02:40,443 --> 00:02:44,043
- oh no, have to tidy my hair first.
- Mama, don't forget to use lipstick!

31
00:02:44,207 --> 00:02:47,237
- Mama, just uses lipstick.
- What to do? Have to take a photo.

32
00:02:47,237 --> 00:02:48,577
Give it to me, my book.

33
00:02:48,577 --> 00:02:54,077
Ouch, don't take my bag in front of 
camera, its bad, just use lipstick.

34
00:02:56,392 --> 00:02:59,522
Ok, you all can go now. 
I will catch up with you.

35
00:03:00,761 --> 00:03:03,981
Don't start shooting, 
Not yet finished my make up.

36
00:03:23,833 --> 00:03:26,833
Those who pay for sex are our people
themselves, Papuan.

37
00:03:26,833 --> 00:03:34,873
They are usually civil servants, 
businessmen, also from private sector.

38
00:03:38,228 --> 00:03:39,338
Any government staff?

39
00:03:39,338 --> 00:03:40,698
Yes, there are.

40
00:03:41,018 --> 00:03:43,738
Exactly the government staff, 
When they come here...

41
00:03:43,888 --> 00:03:46,528
they come by car...

42
00:03:47,152 --> 00:03:53,832
They tell the driver to
look for young girls.

43
00:03:53,994 --> 00:03:59,444
Because they love to do that
with girls in their young age.

44
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,260
They don't want the "root", 
They want the "vine"

45
00:04:24,161 --> 00:04:30,355
Most of the customers don't use a condom.
They don't want.

46
00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:34,799
The girls usually bring the condoms
and we teach them about using condoms.

47
00:04:34,799 --> 00:04:37,699
They usually know about 
the use of condoms.

48
00:04:37,699 --> 00:04:43,839
But when they go with them, the ones 
(customers) with a car and offer condom,

49
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,829
the customers first deny it
and drink alcohol with them.

50
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,089
"Yes, but you have to drink first"
they say

51
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:52,849
"Let's drink first then go out in the car"

52
00:04:52,849 --> 00:04:56,849
When the girls become drunk 
they forget to offer the condoms again.

53
00:04:56,939 --> 00:05:00,939
Even though when they use a condom, 
the customers don't want to pay after sex

54
00:05:01,817 --> 00:05:05,817
Because they first refused it.

55
00:05:06,194 --> 00:05:12,814
They provide reasons that a rubber met
the body/flesh, not flesh on flesh.

56
00:05:13,499 --> 00:05:16,389
So they are in a pitiful situation.
When they are

57
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:18,380
on the road.. also

58
00:05:20,183 --> 00:05:23,603
they face violence.

59
00:05:23,603 --> 00:05:25,923
Like they get hit by the clients.

60
00:05:25,923 --> 00:05:30,693
when they (customers) force the girl 
to be drunk .. often

61
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:35,748
their handphone or money 
gets stolen after sex ..

62
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:39,230
or get cheated by customers
after sex...

63
00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:45,050
"Be patient, baby. Have to go to the ATM" 
Although they don't, they just run away.

64
00:05:46,481 --> 00:05:54,481
After coming back from the hotel, usually,
there are more guys waiting for them.

65
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:59,152
They want to buy her the drinks,
If they deny it, they get hit by them.

66
00:06:01,241 --> 00:06:04,401
There was a girl who got pregnant
and had to perform an abortion.

67
00:06:04,401 --> 00:06:05,151
She died eventually.

68
00:06:06,063 --> 00:06:09,893
she took medicine and then
got a massage on the belly.

69
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:13,210
They massaged and stepped on her stomach

70
00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:17,210
She bleed a lot and then died.

71
00:06:26,807 --> 00:06:28,947
We act as an extension staff ....

72
00:06:30,379 --> 00:06:35,749
provide information to 
the girls on the road.

73
00:06:37,162 --> 00:06:40,482
We give advice till our tongues are tired.

74
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,639
Yes, but often they answer that 
they do it for economic needs.

75
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,829
Need food, need clothes.

76
00:06:49,829 --> 00:06:53,829
Absolutely, they also are subjected to
stigma from society.

77
00:06:55,895 --> 00:07:02,485
They often say that they are still young
but old enough to sell themselves.

78
00:07:04,164 --> 00:07:07,624
And more judgmental opinions like this.

79
00:07:07,624 --> 00:07:11,013
It happens sometimes that 
a customer brought a girl...

80
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:14,893
and there were some other 
customers at the same time ..

81
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:16,873
Forced from the condition,
she had to serve them all

82
00:07:16,873 --> 00:07:19,003
If she serves them, she will get money.
Is it true ...?

83
00:07:19,003 --> 00:07:22,783
A customer said, 
"Let's go for a walk somewhere."

84
00:07:22,783 --> 00:07:26,903
Then when they came back, 
he didn't have money to pay her.

85
00:07:33,708 --> 00:07:37,298
they have guest/customer...

86
00:07:37,298 --> 00:07:39,368
if..

87
00:07:39,368 --> 00:07:42,968
they bring the girls to a hotel, 
usually the customer ....

88
00:07:44,354 --> 00:07:47,864
Say they are three pairs, 
three men, and three girls.

89
00:07:48,747 --> 00:07:52,747
When they are drunk...

90
00:07:53,782 --> 00:07:57,782
Then while being drunk, one man 
have sex with three girls.

91
00:07:57,847 --> 00:08:01,077
And they also have to serve 
the other men.

92
00:08:01,077 --> 00:08:11,287
so, there is indiscriminate sex

93
00:08:11,438 --> 00:08:15,438
I always give advice to those girls.

94
00:08:19,026 --> 00:08:23,426
If one of these men were 
HIV positive,

95
00:08:23,426 --> 00:08:26,466
So all of the girls would get
HIV too.

96
00:08:26,822 --> 00:08:31,202
So I tell the government to 
not to be blind to this.

97
00:08:33,462 --> 00:08:37,383
The government should be aware
of these girls on the street.

98
00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:45,184
Because they need attention
from the government to ....

99
00:08:47,384 --> 00:08:50,514
provide alternatives.

100
00:08:50,609 --> 00:08:53,579
Such as sweeper or floor cleaner jobs.

101
00:08:53,641 --> 00:09:00,631
Or to provide a foundation that works for 
the girls who are involved in prostitution

102
00:09:00,937 --> 00:09:06,587
the government should not wait for
the people from outside to provide help.

103
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:13,067
They should create a program to prevent
HIV/AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases.

104
00:09:14,141 --> 00:09:16,661
for the prostitute girls on the street...

105
00:09:16,661 --> 00:09:22,011
The local Govt. should be paying attention
to this also, they have to see...

106
00:09:22,986 --> 00:09:26,986
Because this is really happening. And
the government should know these girls...

107
00:09:26,986 --> 00:09:30,646
As some of the government officials 
transport them by car to the hotel.

108
00:09:32,413 --> 00:09:35,053
They are the officials
with the dark-glass car.

109
00:09:35,053 --> 00:09:37,343
"Girl, come inside the car!"

110
00:09:37,956 --> 00:09:41,956
What a pity, they are the next generation.

111
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:45,526
It is us who must pay attention to them,
the next generation.

112
00:09:45,526 --> 00:09:48,976
If not us, who else would 
work for our land?

113
00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:53,810
If these girls die because of HIV
What's the future?

114
00:09:55,149 --> 00:09:57,829
Mama Fin's Voice

115
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,920
Present:

116
00:10:02,413 --> 00:10:05,433
Thank you
