    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also strongly support this very timely Bill. I want to start by saying that I am very proud of the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation. I am very proud that she is able to bring forth the subjects that would otherwise be a taboo, or are not thought about by our dear male colleagues. I want to reiterate what has already been said, that the reason we keep saying we need more women in Parliament is because there are certain topics that only women can talk about, that only women can support, that only women feel anything about, or have strong feelings about. Many times when we speak about sexual harassment, when we talk about female genital mutilation, or all the reproductive health issues you will see--- We can even see evidence now that many of our male colleagues are, probably, long gone from the House; this is because to them these are non-issues. But for us, we know that this is the foundation of the society. They are issues that affect the very chore of our existence; they include the topic that we are talking about now, breastfeeding."
