This
paper addresses public education and building the capacity of service providers
to better support the human rights of marginalised women , children, young
people and transgender groups  engaged in and exploited by prostitution.
In making a case for public education on what gender based violence means, this
paper advocates for building the capacity of citizens and residents of
Indonesia to understand UN human rights protocols in terms of protecting some
of the most marginalised people in Indonesia. The paper provides systemic
insights into complex realities of prostitution and makes the case that public
education needs  to promote the capability of all Indonesians to recognise
human rights, gender rights and the essential rights of children. All children
are supposed be protected under the UN regulations for the child. All children
are recognised as citizens with rights according to Indonesian law as discussed
in this paper. In the context of an increasingly urbanised Indonesia, the urban
poor have the most limited life chances. Public education needs to provide them
the opportunity to voice their strategic concerns and to make a contribution to
making policy recommendations to promote social justice. Public education also
needs to educate the public in general about the need to provide protection and
not exploitation of the urban and the rural poor.
