    "content": "As I finish, I would want to say something about the International Women’s Day. I am proud to be a woman and happy to be here today as a Member of Parliament and the Woman Representative representing my county. I take this opportunity now to congratulate every woman in this country, especially those women in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), where we are experiencing terrible drought and famine that has finished all the animals. Women walk many kilometres, like 20 to 30 kilometres, to fetch just 20 litres of water. That is a very hard life. Some of them are expectant while others are breastfeeding. They have no food at home, and they have no opportunity to stay and enjoy. Under that heat, very dry and hardship lifestyle, they go to fetch water and look for food. I respect the women who are struggling today while looking for food to put on the plates for their children; walking for kilometres to fetch water and taking their children to schools while covering long distances. I respect every woman of this country especially those who are struggling because of famine, and those who are suffering because of different challenges that they are going through. Happy International Women’s Day!"
