    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank for you giving me this opportunity. I want to support. I want to indicate, even as I am supporting, that women’s rights is a human rights issue. I know that there are many people asking that if it is a human rights issue, why we have not included it in the Human Rights Bill. This is because of the many years of marginalization and many years of historical injustices against one gender which is women. I know that nowadays, when you stand, I heard Mr. Duale saying, “Consider gender”. I am glad that you mentioned yourself as gender. Many men erroneously presume that gender means women. It is not women. Gender includes both men and women. We have moved away from an approach in the development sector of the women in development approach, to gender and development. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason we moved away from that is because the people who started working where they thought you could promote women alone, noticed very quickly that it does not work. A society that works is the society that God intended where men work together with women."
