Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy V of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Jaleswari Pramodhawardani, has lauded the collaboration of various parties for completing the problem inventory list (DIM) for the sexual violence prevention bill (RUU TPKS).

"This is the result of collective work of many parties, all government components to monitor the process in the House of Representatives (DPR RI)," Pramodhawardani remarked here on Saturday.

The completed problem inventory list for RUU TPKS has 588 entries summarized in 12 chapters and 81 articles, she informed.

The DIM was signed by the Minister for Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, the Minister of Social Affairs, the Minister of Law and Human Rights, and the Minister of Home Affairs on Friday morning to be submitted to the House.

The RUU TPKS Acceleration Task Force, which was formed in April 2021 by the KSP, conducted six discussions with the society, academia, ministries and institutions, the Supreme Court, and the House's Legislation Agency, among others, Pramodhawardani said.

The government and the House were on the same frequency because of well-established communication through intensive discussions, she added. This factor also expedited efforts to prepare the government's DIM, she said.
