    "content": "Fistula is a hole that develops between the vagina and the rectum, which causes the mixing of stool and urine. It causes a stigma which makes men to not want anything to do with a smelly woman. It is not because of their own making, it is because of that condition. The rate of divorce to a woman who is suffering from fistula is high. It is not because of the making of the lady and, therefore, this Motion is timely and it will ensure that such stigmatisation of women will go away. Also, it is important that we create civic education to teach men that those things are there. Time and again, we have been told to be present during the birth of our children to witness the kind of situation that our women go through. About four women out of every 1,000 women suffer from that condition. It is only fair and right that those services that cure that situation are extended to all hospitals, dispensaries, health centers and referral hospitals in Kenya. That way, we will bring back the dignity of women who suffer from it. We will also ensure that women go about building the nation in a manner that is respectable and in a manner that ensures that they do not get stigmatised. As I finish, it is also important knowing that the most affected gender - the women - are the drivers of the economy. They are the people who put together our families and we need to support them to ensure that they have that dignity of a woman. The essence of a woman is hygiene. I support."
