  • 2:46 - 2:50
    The main reason a police report was not made in this case
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Firstly, they probably do not understand their options
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Secondly, access is very difficult.
  • 2:57 - 3:06
    To go out of the area, like with the Penan community, to leave their village and go to Baram is incredibly far.
  • 3:07 - 3:15
    They have to get a ride with the truckers from the logging companies.
  • 3:15 - 3:22
    So if they're raped by the truckers, it's unlikely that they will get a ride to the police station.
  • 3:25 - 3:32
    The parents also don't have the awareness, because of their remote location.
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    It's a logical fear.
  • 3:36 - 3:43
    They are a small community, so they fear for their security if they were to make a report.
  • 3:44 - 3:48
    They do not have any protection for themselves.
  • 3:49 - 4:02
    They fear revenge from the truckers and logging companies if they were to take action.
