    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion by Hon. Janet Nangabo. Allow me to say that Hon. Janet Nangabo is speaking on behalf of so many millions of women and girls. I am happy because of the support that has come from Hon. Wanyonyi and Hon. Rono. Fistula is not a women’s issue only. Before I joined Parliament, I worked for the Population Council which is an international Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that does a lot of research on sexual reproductive health. Fistula is one of the issues that we tackled. It causes a lot of untold suffering to women and girls in Kenya and Africa. It is a reproductive health issue. The Constitution of this country says that every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health. Article 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals talks about the requirements and how nations are supposed to provide healthcare, and especially maternal healthcare. There are millions of women not only in urban areas but also in rural areas, who are suffering in silence because of fistula."
