Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Moeldoko said the ratification of a bill on the protection of domestic workers (RUU PPRT) was the proposal for the DPR's initiative in the 19th plenary session of the DPR IV trial, marking a new chapter in the long journey of the bill since 19 years ago in 2004.

"We appreciate and welcome the plenary decision of the DPR RI which decided the PPRT Bill to become the DPR Initiative Bill. In accordance with the President's directives on January 18 regarding the urgency of the PPRT Bill. KSP as part of the Task Force for the Acceleration of the PPRT Bill is ready to provide full support," said Moeldoko as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, March 19.

KSP, he said, is ready to provide full support to the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, as well as other stakeholders to immediately deepen and discuss the PPRT Bill together with the DPR RI.

Moeldoko explained that the PPRT Bill is needed to provide legal guarantees and certainty of the rights and obligations of household workers, and KSP also ensures that collaborative efforts continue to be carried out so that the process of discussing the PPRT Bill can run smoothly and can be ratified immediately.

"The ratification of the PPRT Bill will be an important achievement in protecting and recognizing household workers. In addition, formal recognition of household workers will also encourage an increase in women's economic contribution," he said.

Referring to the PPRT Bill proposed by the Legislation Body of the DPR RI on July 1, 2020, the bill has contained materials related to recognition or recognition, PRT recruitment models, PRT protection models, and rights and obligations arrangements.
