        "summary": "The DPR's Legislative Body (Baleg) has stated that the Domestic Worker Protection Bill (PPRT) will require agencies that place domestic workers to possess legitimate status, strengthening institutional protection. The move is part of broader efforts to improve legal status, rights, and accountability for ART.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The Chair of the DPR\u2019s Legislation Body (Baleg), Bob Hasan,\nsaid that the Draft Law on Domestic Worker Protection (PPRT) will\nrequire agencies that place domestic workers (ART) to have legitimacy in\norder to strengthen the institutional framework. According to him, the\nplacement agencies must be legally incorporated and officially\nregistered, even though the agency may initially have been established\nas a foundation. Essentially, he said, this approach reflects the aim of\nstrengthening protection for ART.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course the professionalism exists in a legal form, that is the\nessence,\u201d Bob said after attending a hearing on the aspirations\nregarding the PPRT Bill at the Parliament complex in Jakarta, on\nThursday.<\/p>\n<p>If we talk about protection, he said, the strengthening must be\ncarried out for every element connected with ART, including their legal\nstanding as well as humanitarian considerations.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, he said, the DPR will continue to consult with the\npublic and apply a meaningful participatory spirit in the drafting of\nevery law.<\/p>\n<p>He said that input from various parties is important because the PPRT\nissue is complex, ranging from disputes and protection to wages.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Bill is targeted to be completed as soon as\npossible. Several organisations have urged its swift enactment, as it\nhas been delayed for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are conducting an RDP (rapat dengar pendapat) during the recess\nbecause of how important it is, since we must draft the bill,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
