Indonesian authorities are about to demolish Jakarta's most notorious red light district, evicting hundreds of people who live among the area's illegal brothels, casinos and bars.

The bulldozers are due to move in on Monday at the once-bustling riverside shantytown of Kalijodo in North Jakarta.

It is home to about 3,000 people — including plenty of legal businesses and families that have lived there for decades.

"We don't know where to move. They've turned us into beggars by taking away our jobs," local food seller Dewi said.

She has lived in Kalijodo since 1989 and raised five children there — her youngest is four years old.

Authorities handed her an eviction letter about one week ago.

"They just came here with 250 police, giving us a deadline to leave," she said.

"They didn't speak much, just telling us this land will be cleared, and asking us to pack and leave."
