    "content": "In the end, we are dealing with teenage pregnancy because of lack of sanitary towels. We are also dealing with issues of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence within our teenage girls and a multitude of effects; a domino effect on our society, including early marriages. The first point is to deal with the period-shaming and period poverty. I urge this House to support my Motion on Provision of Free Sanitary Towels when it comes- whether they are uncomfortable with the idea that all women bleed. I want you to picture your wife, daughter or sister being unable to manage their periods because they cannot receive the sanitary towels, then imagine that you have to deal with it. We are here to legislate and that begins by the understanding of what we are dealing with. Periods are normal. Anyone who wants to shame me for bleeding is completely out of order. I urge this House to adapt that it should never be in the history of this House again for any woman to be kicked out because of having stained their dress due to a period accident. I thank you so much for this time and to my fellow Senators, kindly support the Motion that is coming to the House. I thank you."
