"content": "they visited Bunge, and we were able to provide them with food for one year. Those are some of the obstacles that could potentially hinder the sport's growth and advancement. The Lionesses have shown unwavering dedication by overcoming these to excel on a global stage. As we commend our women's rugby team for its spectacular performance, it is important to note that in the world of sports, women often face unique challenges and barriers, including unequal opportunities, gender-based discrimination and inadequate access to health care services. Therefore, as parliamentarians, we have a constitutional duty and a responsibility to address these issues head-on and ensure that our girls are empowered to thrive in their chosen sports disciplines without fear of discrimination or prejudice. In this regard, I wish to thank the stakeholders, such as Safaricom PLC, who have already come out strongly to support our Lionesses in overcoming some of these hindrances. I urge more organisations to consider supporting our women's rugby team and other disciplines featuring female sportspersons. Hon. Speaker, to our Lionesses, I say this: Continue to shine brightly on the rugby field, inspire the next generation of sportswomen, and never forget your worth and value as women. You are a role model and champion of change, and your contributions to our national pride are truly invaluable. Once again, I say, hongera kwenu na endeleeni kukaza mshipi. Asante Lionesses. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
