    "content": "they talk of procurement, our girls still need sanitary towels. As we speak about seven packets of sanitary towels per year per student, the health of those students should be considered. Do you want one girl to use one sanitary towel the whole day, or what is the plan? We need to ensure that menstrual health of girls is maintained. We also need to ensure that personal comfort is well taken care of. We do not want a situation where a girl is worried about whether she has messed herself the whole day. They need to be given sufficient packets of sanitary towels. Equally, those girls are the future mothers. We will affect their reproductive health if we do not give them enough sanitary towels. So, we urge the Government to act quickly to ensure our girls have sanitary towels. If distribution by the Ministry of Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage is difficult, County Woman Representatives are here and ready to go around the counties to deliver sanitary towels to our students. Above all, it has become difficult for County Woman Representatives to always ask for donations, which is not sustainable in ensuring our girls remain in school. The time for our girls to get sanitary towels is now. We are demanding, not requesting."
