    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the stigma and the period shaming that we are having is because of one thing; the lack of access to sanitary towels. We want to deal with two things when we are legislating. I am moving this Motion and we are going to debate, the two things that I want us to delve into is the period shaming and the period poverty. They both go hand in hand. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for purposes of the men in this House and the male gender that is following and they are not aware of what I am talking about, women have periods. We actually menstruate every other month. We bleed. It comes out of our body for three to seven days. That is a biological fact and it is not propaganda. While we are bleeding - which lasts for five to seven days - we need to find ways to carry on with our duties; to stand in Senate to speak, if it is the girls to be able to continue with their studies. That is what we are calling the menstrual hygiene products, the sanitary pads, tampons, menstrual cups and all other menstrual products."
