Support women’s petition
I REFER to the petition by Dame Carol
Kidu. She is the only woman parliamentarian in the
male-dominated Parliament who continues to raise practical
issues of violence, especially those that are directed at women
and children.
She does not have to be a woman to raise such sensitive issues
that are degrading the core of societies.
It is a problem that needs support from all politicians who are
fathers, sons and grandfathers to women and children.
Lack of political support to agencies entrusted to uphold laws
to protect women and children against violence have resulted in
an increasingly alarming law and order problems, especially
those directed at women and children.
