JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Indonesian Judicial Commission (KY) Arie Sudihar said that the agency is currently focusing on monitoring the trial of women who are in conflict with the law.

This was conveyed by the Secretary General of KY in the activity "Optimizing the role of the community in monitoring the trial of women's cases in conflict with the law and monitoring of the 2024 Pilkada case in Padang.

"From year to year, there is a high demand for monitoring women's cases in conflict with the law," said Secretary General of KY RI Arie Sudihar in Padang, West Sumatra, Wednesday, May 15, as reported by Antara.

Arie said, with the high demand for trial monitoring for women in conflict with the law, KY took a policy to focus on the problem.

"Right now, KY is more focused on asking for monitoring of women's cases in conflict with the law," he said.

The monitoring in question is that the institution will monitor the behavior of judges in terms of implementing Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) Number 3 of 2017 and the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges or KEPPH.

Through monitoring the KY trial, it will observe judges in implementing justice, not discrimination against those tried to uphold the principle of gender equality.

Then, he continued, what is no less important is that judges must pay attention to the fulfillment of the rights of every woman who is in conflict with the law during the legal process.

"The fulfillment of the rights for women in conflict with this law is a form of enforcing the code of ethics and code of conduct of judges," he said.

To increase supervision of judges in the country, KY through the support of Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice 2 (AIPJ2) launched a guidebook for monitoring the trial of women's cases in conflict with the law in 2023.

Finally, regarding the monitoring of the 2024 Pilkada case which is related to women, Arie realizes that this needs serious attention. This is because women have a big role in democratic parties.

"Menjunjung tinggi hak asasi perempuan sejalan dengan prinsip demokrasi yaitu equivalence dan keadilan gender pada Pilkada 2024," tandasnya.
