    "content": "vulnerable, those who may not have strength of one kind or another, are exposed to danger; in many cases they suffer. What we have witnessed in recent days are just cases of those who do not have a chance of getting what is equitable or what is fair. With this particular Bill, it will be possible for the people who are affected in one way or another to get justice. They will also be treated with the dignity they deserve. With this Bill there will be a possibility of creating reconciliation in cases which will help in terms of restorative justice as provided. It will also help to have the programme by the Government that can assist citizens who are affected. It will be in the right direction; this will again assure victims that, at least, they have the right to have food and shelter, at least the basic human needs. At the end of the day, as they wait for justice to be done, at least they will be accorded human dignity. This Victim Protection Bill will allow people to come out clearly even in incidents where they will have been affected. There are times when, because of the challenges faced by the victims, they fear to come out clearly and tell the authorities their challenges, so that justice is accorded to them. This is because they fear powerful people. Some mechanism will provide an opportunity for all to take their right place in the society. The weak will have their rights as far as access to justice is concerned. With those few remarks, I support this Bill."
