    "content": "On the whole debate about the vice-chairperson being of an opposite gender, first and foremost, I want to tell the men here that they should not just assume we are fighting for women rights; it is for either gender. We can have a lady who is the chair. When we go to the issues of how the elections are done, we will first do the election of the chair so that the deputy can then come from the opposite gender. I also want to be on record that we met various groups and this is the spirit that is even within the councils of university students. It is very sad to see that university students are ahead of us. This is a House that is supposed to set the pace. I am very disturbed when I see Hon. Members not going with the spirit of what the students of universities would actually wish to happen to them. If we agree that we can, first, hold the elections for the chair, whether it is a lady or a man, the other person will be of opposite gender--- If we go to a country like Belgium where women were not even allowed to vote, we will find that today their Parliament has over 45 per cent women."
