"This discussion is quite expressive and by the political commitment of the House of Representatives and the government to jointly realize the TPKS Bill", said Willy.
Some of the progressives of this plan, Willy said, are victim-friendly designs. Second, how do law enforcement officers have legal standing which so far does not exist in every type of sexual violence case.
"The third is the presence of the state on how to provide a sense of justice and protection to victims of sexual violence, which we have called the iceberg phenomenon", he said.
