    "content": "Secondly, we need to address the historical injustices that have bedevilled our people. Culturally, for a long time, it is men who sat together and manufactured it. Gender is embodied in culture in the sense that men sat and allocated gender roles which did not favour women. Women have taken up those roles. Because they are good custodians, they have ensured that the culture that is there is upheld. Women have done those roles for a long time, but the injustice in it is that culture never allowed women to participate in it. So, the affirmative action in this Bill will enable women to be in a position to make decisions that, in one way or another, will benefit this nation. On that note, I want to beseech most of the tribal communities that have specific cultures to include women in their council of elders so that when decisions are made at the cultural level, women participation is enhanced.
