    "content": "as well as gang-like programmes. On behalf of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), we addressed a Press conference on the matter and joined the demonstrators. Most of the women there asked us where we had been. It did not matter to them that we had addressed the matter through a Press conference. It did not matter that we had released a statement. Neither did it matter to them that we were on the streets with them. The question was: “Where have you been?” I want us to ask that question because we have talked about rape. We have the Sexual Offences Act but, unfortunately, its implementation is a letdown. We should, as a House, fast track the implementation of the Sexual Offences Act. If the Act was in place, we would have gender desks at police stations – places where women can feel comfortable to go and report. My dear colleagues, this issue is clearly spelt out in the Constitution. I will end at this point, so that other people can speak. Article 29 (c) and (d) of the Constitution states that every person has the right to freedom and security of the person, which includes the right not to be subjected to any form of violence from either public or private sources or subjected to torture in any manner, whether physical or psychological."
