    "content": "We also have people who take advantage of our young girls back at home, especially the rich and powerful men. Once the girl gets pregnant, she is threatened to either have an abortion or give birth and allow him to take the child. If that happens and the girl gives in to pressure, she gives birth and then gives the child to the rich father. The poor little girl will never see that child again. In most cases where they move to court, they do not even get justice because the courts sometimes - but not all the times - call it hot air and the poor little girl will have nowhere else to run to. I beg that we protect our children. They did not request to be brought to this world. They do not know the circumstances under which they came to this world. They should not be put under circumstances they do not understand. A child has a right more than a grown up in the eyes of the Lord and the justice system of this country. We need to protect our children. May God reign down and take these conventions to action, so that our children are taken care of. The mothers also need protection. People divorce sometimes and the court rules that the mother and child should be taken care of. However, the rich person goes back to the same court and he is declared bankrupt. Therefore, he cannot take care of Fatuma and her child anymore. The mother then finds herself in the same circumstance as the child. I beg to support the Motion. Thank you."
