"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 52 (1), to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely, importance of establishing women self-help groups. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, throughout history, women have faced intense discrimination. In several societies, women have long been viewed as lesser beings. The adoption of self-help groups as a strategy to empower women originated from India and later extended to almost the whole world. Women groups are voluntary associations for poor people who join efforts, ideas and resources together for the purposes of addressing issues such as; importance of agriculture and food security, eliminating poverty, enhancing health care facilities and educating women."
