    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection for bringing this Report. We are cognisant of the fact that we are in trouble, especially when we have international players in the world take advantage of our young girls and the poor status of our economy. Those young girls have to depend on those international players for their survival. I support the Motion because, in most cases, we realise that the most affected are women and children. If a father sires a child and leaves the child behind and repatriates back to his country, the child suffers. Some become street boys or girls within the country because there is nobody to take care of them. Through this Convention, we see incidences where majority of the people affected are women. The Convention states that it is not only for the men to take care of the women and children they leave behind, but it also brings women on board, even when they run away and leave their children under the care of men and hide in diaspora with zero parental responsibility. The Convention will take care of those women by making sure that they are held to account to take care and be responsible for the children, and make sure that they give parental guidance as far as motherly love for their children is concerned. It will also make sure that they participate in the bringing up of those children. We have seen many Hague Treaties, but we hope that this one will not be one of those many Hague Treaties with no one enforcing them."
