    "content": "you that if it was left to me to make decisions, I would want to operationalise Article 43 before I even operationalise Article 45 because Article 43 says: “Every person has a right – (a) to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care; (b) to accessible and adequate housing, and to reasonable standards of sanitation, (c) to be free from hunger, and to have adequate food and acceptable quality; (d) to clean and safe water in adequate quantities; (e) to social security; and (f) to education. I think that the issues that lead to this type of violence that we are speaking of today are deeper than a system which is penal in nature. Even the Article before it on labour relations, Article 41 which responds very closely to the people I represent says every worker has the right to fair remuneration, reasonable working conditions, to form, join or participate in activities and so forth; so that my people are able to go to Industrial Area and turn on the wheel for the industrialists. This allows the GDP to rise so that when they come home they have enough to pay their rent, bring food on the table and also reduce stress and the low self esteem that is associated with violence. They will also reduce cases of orphans and widows that we witness in these parts of the world. We should ask ourselves after looking at the Bill, how do we enforce it? One is in Clause 6. It says that it will be enforced through a police system; that the police officer to whom the complaint is made will have the obligation to counsel these people or tell them how to access medical facilities, shelter and so forth. How do you get these policemen to do this kind of thing if they are not trained? How can this Bill do these things if it does not propose a fund which can be used to train these police officers to offer the kind of protection that they are supposed to offer in the Bill? Did the drafter think about how the police are helping the tourism industry? There are specialized or diplomat police who are trained to deal with issues such as those."
