    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I give my support to the nominees to the National Gender and Equality Commission. When we say that gender does not speak to only women but also men, we can agree that it is the women who suffer the most. Even as we observe the 16 days against gender-based violence, technology gender-based violence has also been recognised. Many women are facing cyber bullying based on their gender, besides femicide. That is a Commission that is extremely and grossly under-funded. We need to anchor all the Votes in terms of budgeting under gender to ensure that the Commission does its work. Many people speak about Nominated Members and, as a Nominated Member, we get bashed by many people who assume that we got our jobs because of what my senior refers to as something between our legs. Some of us have done pretty well in our spaces. We have people like you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Millie, Hon. Sarah, Hon. Naomi and the rest who have gone before us, and have done an extremely good job because the opportunities that we get, allow us to get a platform to grow our political career. It becomes very disgusting when some people assume that we get those roles because of what they assume we get them from."
