'Most hookers from 2 parent families'<\/p>\n
SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: The local office of the Indonesian
\nPlanned Parenthood Association (PKBI) has conducted a survey of
\n75 girl prostitutes and come up with a result that 68 percent of
\nthem are from respectable families.<\/p>\n
Director of PKBI East Kalimantan chapter, Sumadi Atmodiharjo,
\nsaid here on Wednesday that the result was shocking as it was
\ncontrary to the popular belief that girl prostitutes come from
\nbroken families.<\/p>\n
The survey was conducted in October and November this year and
\ninvolved close monitoring of girl prostitutes aged between 14 and
\n20 at pubs, cafes in Mahakam's river bank areas and nightspots in
\nPinang Babaris.<\/p>\n
The survey also shows that some of the girl prostitutes
\noperate during the day, in order not to arouse the suspicions of
\ntheir families.<\/p>\n
These young girls have turned into sex workers for a variety
\nof reasons. Some of them had already had sex with their
\nboyfriends but were later abandoned. Others had taken to
\nprostitution, either of their own accord or because of economic
\nreasons. Other reasons included following their friends or being
\ndeceived before falling into a trap.<\/p>\n
About half of them knew nothing about sexually transmitted
\ndiseases and HIV\/AIDS and almost 60 percent of them enjoy the
\njob, Sumadi said, adding that a further survey would be conducted
\nto find the best way to guide them away from prostitution.
