Abstract

Background: Dolly was the biggest red light district in Southeast Asia with more than 1000 (a thousand) women working as commercial sex workers. Because the district imposed a very negative effect  to the surrounding inhabitants especially to children, therefore red light district area of  Dolly and Jarak which are located in  residential area had to be closed. The quality of life of the residents especially the commercial sex workers was very much affected after the district was closed.  The study aimed to understand the representation of the social, economic, psychological, and reproductive health condition after the Dolly district in Surabaya was closed.Subject and Method: This was a qualitative descriptive study with phenomenology approach. This study was  conducted in former red light districts of Dolly and Jarak in Surabaya from January 18-February 28, 2017. The informant of this study were commercial sex workers, former commercial sex workers, head of hamlet (RW), former pander of Dolly,  Head of Civil Society Organization, healthcare workers, and Social Office of Surabaya City. The sampling technique used was snowball sampling, with in-depth interviews, observation, documentation study. The data were analyzed by interactive analysis model including data collection, data reduction, display and verification. Results: The commercial sex workers characteristic prior and post closing of the district were around 28-43 years old, with elementary – senior high school educated. Most of the commercial sex workers were from outside the city with 1-5 customers/day. They charged Rp. 100-300 thousand (Dolly’s commercial sex workers) per customer and Rp. 100-200 thousand/customer (Jarak’s commercial sex workers). The representation of quality of life post-closing was poor, altered social condition,  lack of interaction with others, the degradation of economic condition, poor psychological condition due to the economical problem, and reproductive health was less protected  because they did not get  regular examination like before the complex was closed.Conclusion: The representation  of quality of life in terms of the condition of social, economic, psychology, and reproductive health of the commercial sex workers post Dolly and Jarak closing were poor. Therefore, government intervention was very much needed to help improving the quality of life of the commercial sex workers.Keywords: Commercial sex workers, social, economic, psychological, reproductive health.Correspondence: Danty Indra Puspitaningtyas.
