Harwati in Front of Lapindo Mudflow

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
