ome 600 women staged a long march in observance of International Women's Day on Sunday while calling on the House of Representatives to pass a bill on the protection of domestic workers.
Coalition of Diverse Indonesia coordinator Nani Zulminarni said that the bill lacked attention from lawmakers.
"We feel that the House is not paying enough attention to [the deliberation of] the bill," she told kompas.com during the long march along Jl. Sudirman and the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, saying that similar rallies were staged simultaneously in other provinces nationwide.
Rally participants also demand decent wages for domestic workers. (+++++)
