    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve who as usual amplifies the voice of the people who cannot speak for themselves by drawing our attention to the World Day of Social Justice. The World Day of Social Justice came about as a result of social injustices that exist in the world, our country and everywhere else we go to, work and play. The root cause of every social injustice is unequal treatment. Women, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and certain marginalized groups tend to suffer disproportionate social injustices. We are a few months to the general elections. Allow me to highlight social injustice of exclusion of women in representation and political life. As we watch the goings-on, especially from Northern Kenya where I come from and other parts of this country, we are seeing heightened social injustice against women in the political and socio-economic space. We have also witnessed heightened attacks on women and PWDs who cannot defend themselves in the political space. That exacerbates the social injustice that is meted to these groups. As I said, at the root of any social injustice is unequal treatment. Social injustices have very many offshoots. They include discrimination and being locked out of a system that would have given you an equal chance, be it for representation or political life."
