The National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) has reported several lawmakers to the House of Representatives' ethics council for allegedly harassing a female Indonesia Broadcast Commission (KPI) candidate during an interview.

Commission chairman Yuniyanti Chuzaifah said she had received reports that members of the House asked sexist questions during a screening for KPI candidates. "We did not get the reports from the victim directly. We are now seeking clarification from the House," she said as quoted by tribunneews.com.
