"content": "I wish to bring to the attention of this House that SDG 5’s target on education and gender parity in schools is still a tall order. It was not achieved in the Education for All goals which expired in 2015. In the SDG Agenda of 2030, it is still listed as one of the targets that must be achieved. In the Global Monitoring Report, even within this country, gender parity remains a key issue. I would like to challenge the honourable women of this National Assembly, particularly with one programme to do with sanitary towels. We have seen this is one programme that makes a difference in the life of the girl child. But we have seen it has been so politicised that even the procurement systems keep rotating from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Gender. I think the women legislators in this House owe a duty to the girl-child in the school system to ensure that the procurement system of sanitary towels is full proof, properly budgeted for and targeted."
