Balikpapan. Andi Muhammad Aslam's journey of activism began 11 years ago, when he sought an escape from routine by visiting a house of a relative in Bontang, East Kalimantan.

The resource-rich city is known as one of the richest regions in Indonesia thanks to its natural gas production, but Aslam happened to stay near one of the darkest corners of the "city of gas," namely the red-light district of Prakla.

He was alone in those days in 2003, wandering aimlessly around nearby fishing villages, ports and tourist sites, when he stumbled upon the prostitution area.
