Dolly Shut Down

TWO weeks ago the Surabaya government officially closed the red light districts of Dolly and Jarak, located in the city's Putat Jaya district. "If they continue to open, the law will take over," Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini said.

It was not for no reason that Risma insisted on shutting Dolly down. The operation had no legal foundations. Entrepreneurs there had neither building permits nor licenses to run tourism-related businesses. More troubling, due to their mixing with local households, children in the area have become addicted to sex, Risma said. "Sex addiction is more dangerous than drug addiction," she explained, citing a child who admitted she was no longer a virgin and had many boyfriends.
