I want to congratulate her especially because I have heard the women representatives many times complaining that they do not know what their role is. I think it is frustration in terms of the work they should do and I am glad she is showing the way. This is what their primary role is: To represent the marginalized, the women and those who are voiceless in this country. So, I want to congratulate ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I am happy because even when we brought this matter, the Nation Media Group was not happy with us because they were wondering why we were singling them out but we were basically using them as a test case for all the media houses.

I hope as we move on we will also look at issues that deal with persons with disability who are also women or who are also poor or ... view
