    "content": "One thing we have realised over the past few years is that society has resorted to gender- based violence. This violence is happening in our homes and every other place. We are not able to do much audit in terms of trying to give counselling and attention to the affected individuals. One thing I have realised in my constituency is that young girls have been affected and have nowhere to run to. The law is not giving them justice. We have realised that immediately they are taken to the police, the kind of interrogation they undergo is so thorough that they cannot approve. Even the stigma that arises out this is so much. It has affected the future of young girls. The society is not very supportive. Instead of giving young girls a shoulder to lean on, society is stigmatising them. These are issues that affect our society. It is in the media and everywhere else. Victims have not been given a chance to recoup their lives. Neither have they been given the necessary attention. Setting up of trauma centres in various constituencies will make individuals who have been affected to recover. Even the disabled have not been spared. Even the most vulnerable in our society are affected and they have nowhere to run to. If we establish trauma centres in every constituency, we will be able to alleviate the devastation that our young men and women are facing. Thank you."
