"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.

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister for Law and Human Rights and head of the RUU TPKS Acceleration Task Force, Edward Hiariej, explained that the government is seeking to improve the sexual violence prevention bill drafted by the House through breakthrough criminal provisions and regulations that now encompass seven types of sexual violence and procedural law.
"We have compiled the construction of procedural law, which would ease the evidentiary, process, and so on. In this bill, victims' rights such as protection and recovery are fulfilled," he added.
Further, the Women and Children Protection Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD PPA), which acts as a one-stop service for sexual violence victims, is also a breakthrough in the government's RUU TPKS problem inventory list, he informed.
