    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. I beg to move that the Provision of Sanitary Towels Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2024) be now read a Second Time. I will proceed from where I had started. Today might not seem to be a big deal for many people and even to some of my colleagues in Parliament. For the short period of time I have served as a Senator and in the 15 years that I have worked in community service, it is such an honour for me to legislate on this pertinent issue of period poverty. I want to take the House and the public through the Bill, so that any confusion that was witnessed earlier on can be clarified with the facts, which is the Bill that is before us. The Provision of Sanitary Towels Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2024) is a Bill and an Act of Parliament to provide for the provision of quality, free and sufficient sanitary towels in public institutions and correctional facilities; establish the inter-ministerial committee on provision of sanitary towels; and for the connected purposes. I will start by explaining why we chose this particular name; The Provision of Sanitary Towels Bill. We had a lot of deliberations and feedback from the public. There were those who felt that the name itself is limiting. After deliberating with the legal team The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
