Prostitution

Prostitution

From Neraca

A seminar held recently in Tangerang, West Java, discussed the
problem of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), for which there is still no known
cure. The seminar revealed that Indonesia has the largest number
of prostitutes in Southeast Asia.

According to the seminar, localized prostitution is found in
almost all large cities. Prostitutes here also operate along busy
highways, such as along the north coast of Java and through to
Sumatra. It is understandable that a foreign investor wants to
invest in prostitution development. But the government rejects
the investment proposal.

I am very concerned about this fact. What will happen to our
future generations? Will they become AIDS infected generations?
The localization of prostitution may be official in some cities
but in other places it is clandestinely operated.
