"content": "There have been instances of femicide, but we have not heard the National Gender and Equality Commission loudly speak to rebuke or even contact the National Police Service Commission, which is the oversight commission for the police to firmly intervene on such matters. It is a total lacklustre. This Commission has been there at a time when the world was struggling to define who a woman is. In an interview, Ketanji Brown, the first black woman member of the Supreme Court of the United States of America (USA) was asked what a woman is, and she said that she did not know, and that it is biology. The Commission has also been there when the Supreme Court decided one’s gender is what one decides each time. One assigns their sexual orientation however they deem fit. When we were fighting in the Supreme Court, we expected the National Gender and Equality Commission to be at the forefront. But they sat and did nothing when the people who call themselves transgender men and women, and the ones who claim to have transitioned and yet they are men, took over the spaces and opportunities that have been fought over for eternity for our women."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I give my support to the nominees to the National Gender and Equality Commission. When we say that gender does not speak to only women but also men, we can agree that it is the women who suffer the most. Even as we observe the 16 days against gender-based violence, technology gender-based violence has also been recognised. Many women are facing cyber bullying based on their gender, besides femicide. That is a Commission that is extremely and grossly under-funded. We need to anchor all the Votes in terms of budgeting under gender to ensure that the Commission does its work. Many people speak about Nominated Members and, as a Nominated Member, we get bashed by many people who assume that we got our jobs because of what my senior refers to as something between our legs. Some of us have done pretty well in our spaces. We have people like you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Millie, Hon. Sarah, Hon. Naomi and the rest who have gone before us, and have done an extremely good job because the opportunities that we get, allow us to get a platform to grow our political career. It becomes very disgusting when some people assume that we get those roles because of what they assume we get them from."
