Khaniri for coming up with this Statement that is touching, burning and causing a lot of emotions to each one of us. I stand to support it because I am a mother and a lady. As we all know, many of our girls cannot do their exams well because they are expectant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are raising our concerns because this session is a sensitive one. Our girls are missing their exams because they are either pregnant or are delivering their children. It is unfortunate that, as a nation, this is the only time that this has come to our attention. As a woman, my mind goes back to the other three quarters of the year; the first, second and the third, where many girls have given birth for the last nine months and nobody has raised any concerns."}
