This Saturday P3M (7 people went out) went out into the streets passing out condoms and sharing information about HIV/Aids to all the sex workers (20+ women, 3 men). They also took surveys about the women like how or why they got into prostitution and what would they want to do if this was not their job. Many women said they would like to own a cafe, a salon, cooking and make a small business.
Questions for the girls:
1. Why are you in prostituion? (rape, forced, sold, divorce ect)
2. What are your hobbies? (cooking, salon, makeup, sewing, small business ect)
3. What is your purpose or what would you do if people were able to help you get out? (cooking, small business ect)
Some Stories from the night:
They met one young girl who had a baby 2 weeks ago. She is divorced and is working on the streets to provide for her baby.
Another girl was waiting for the highest bidder to sell her virginity to. She was doing this because her mother is very sick and needs money for medical bills. P3M was trying to councel her but her "pimp" got upset and ran them off. Next thing they knew she was gone.
Many girls responded to quiestion number 3 "I have no purpose"
Sunday P3M met with JAPI and other organizations from all over Indonesia, networking and encouraging each other to keep up the good work. Focusing on HIV, transgender, prostitution and drug users.
