The House of Representatives (DPR) appears to prioritize the development of the new capital city (IKN) over the welfare of domestic workers (PRT).

This is evident in the disparity in the DPR's performance in finalizing legislation related to these issues.

According to the DPR's official website, the Deliberative Body (Bamus) first assigned the discussion of the IKN Bill to the Special Committee (Pansus) on November 3, 2021.

The discussion then proceeded very quickly, until the DPR Plenary Meeting approved the enactment of the IKN Bill into Law on January 18, 2022.

In total, from the initial assignment to approval in the DPR, the IKN Law took only 77 days, or about 2.5 months.

This contrasts sharply with the Bill on the Protection of Domestic Workers (PPRT). This bill was first proposed in 2004, and since then has been included in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) until now.

However, according to the DPR's official website, as of today (February 20, 2023), the discussion of the PPRT Bill is still stuck at the Commission Proposal stage.

To be enacted, the PPRT Bill still has to go through four more stages: harmonization, determination of the DPR's proposal, first-level discussion, and second-level discussion, with no clear targets yet.

Cumulatively, the discussion of the PPRT Bill has been listed in the Prolegnas for 18 years, or about 6,570 days, but its status remains far from completion.

According to the Indonesian Parliamentary Center (IPC), there are other bills with a similar fate.

"There are a number of urgent bills whose discussions have been ongoing for a long time, but have not been prioritized or have been slow, including the Indigenous Peoples Bill (since 2009) and the PPRT Bill (since 2004)," said the IPC in its report, *End-of-Year Note on the Performance of the DPR RI 2022*, released on Tuesday (January 17, 2023).

"For the PPRT Bill, for example, the urgency stems from the fact that, based on data from the National Network for the Advocacy of Domestic Workers (JALA PRT) and the Civil Coalition for the PPRT Law, between 2017 and 2022, 2,637 domestic workers admitted to experiencing violence," the IPC continued.

The IPC stated that in the 2017-2022 period, there were 1,148 cases of economic violence (unpaid wages), 1,382 cases of psychological violence (confinement), 1,027 cases of physical violence, 831 cases of sexual violence, and 1,487 cases of human trafficking by placement agencies.

In response to this problem, the IPC recommends that the DPR establish a standard for prioritizing the enactment of bills based on factual issues that are important, urgent, and truly require legal protection.
