    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Dr. Musuruve on this IWD. Being a woman, I am proud of being celebrated in a group of women who are living today. I had a similar Statement but because of the procedure and process, allow me to ride on Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve’s Statement. I congratulate all the women in Kenya and I appreciate the Senate for the opportunity to celebrate IWD. It is very important that I urge the Senators here to join other Kenyans to honour the milestones and the progress made on the long road to gender and equity as championed by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. I also congratulate those who suggested today’s theme of celebration, which is “gender equity for sustainability tomorrow”. The theme actually has to do with what I partially do, as the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on National Cohesion Equal, Opportunity and Regional Integration. This Committee looks at the equity that we need as Kenyans, especially women, in acquiring the gender parity in this parliament. I already alluded on the fact that as women, we are still experiencing violence against women in Kenya. We have discussed that at length after the Statement that has been raised."
