Julie is a ‘Disko Meri’, the local term for a bar girl in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The girls who work as ‘Disko Meri’ are supposed to act as company for the men who frequent the clubs, encouraging the men to buy more drinks and stay longer. Many, though not Julie, also make available various forms of prostitution.
