    "content": "Many times we see on social media or television unscrupulous people take advantage of vulnerable people. So, the employer should be responsible for the people they are hiring so that they make sure that vulnerable people are being taken care of by the right persons. I have talked about collection of semen for evidence. One more important thing that has been clarified is with regard to police stations having special units to deal with sexual offences. This is very important because the 2006 statistics stated that one rape was committed every half an hour. So, if we are dealing with figures as high as that, as a country, we need to have trained police officers so that we can take care of the vulnerable citizens. They have to be trained to conduct their activities in a proper manner. Hon. Speaker, overall, I do not have any issue with this Amendment Bill. Though, I would like to talk about Section 46A where the Minister responsible for Education, in provision of guidelines, should include sex education. For example, I remember a few years ago my friend who lives in the United Kingdom (UK) was telling me that his nine-year old cousin was being taught about sex education and she came home with a condom. He was quite surprised and was expressing his horror to me. Our children are maturing at a very fast rate these days. We cannot sit at home and expect teachers to educate them on what is right or wrong. We have to let the doors open and sit our children down and talk to them in a way that they can understand."
