Millie Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei for that General Statement marking the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. For those who do not know why we mark the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, two incidents inspired that observance. One was the killing of the Mirabal sisters by the Trujillo dictatorship because of politics. They wanted change in governance and they were assassinated by the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. The other incident was a case in Canada, where a young man walked into an engineering class and shot women dead because they were studying engineering, which he considered to be a male subject. While those may be extreme cases, we are experiencing different forms of violence against women. When we mark the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, it is not just about women. It involves both men and women although we realise and acknowledge that women are disproportionately affected. Whenever we raise those issues, people normally ask us why we keep talking about women. My deputy has just challenged me and said that we are all talking about gender this week. In fact, I want to congratulate Hon. Esther Passaris for her commitment because she has even been wearing outfits with orange colour."},{"id":1502834,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1502834/?format=json","text_counter":74,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mbeere North, DP","speaker_title":"Hon.
