Jakarta, GIVnews. Now that commercial sex is supposedly gone from Kalijodo because it is going to be transformed into a public park , it will probably go somewhere else. The activity itself is originally believed as an act of survival, to preserve human race and prevent our extinction. However, as a country which is strongly influenced by religions, Indonesia views premarital and extramarital sex as embodiment of lust and carnal desire.
This includes commercial sex. The government also plays a big role in shunning pornography, from encouraging anti-pornography movements and laws to closing down night clubs as well as prostitution houses. While commercial sex is illegal, the sex industry does exist in Indonesia. And a huge amount of money circulates there. He even reviewed sex destination guides, typical costs and sex activities as well as tips and tricks in sex and dating in Indonesia. This is a huge impact to the economy.
I feel like I was forced. And many believe that this should be healed by simply closing down brothels, which is not going to work. In fact, it may bring another problem. However, five months after its closure only one factory has been built employing around workers. The government did give five million rupiahs to each sex workers and pimps, but such solution might not be very sustainable.
They could not solve prostitution problems by distributing money to sex workers. In fact, their jobs become more dangerous. In general brothels also enforced condom use. Despite it being unpopular, the government needs to carefully plan how to solve the real problems behind prostitution, rather than simply by force-closing their facilities.
And once they can no longer work here, they can survive on their own. They have to be educated for that. Without that education and awareness, there will always be prostitutes coming in and going out of Dolly.
