THUMBS UP FOR A START

At last the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution is considering making it a fundamental right for girls to get sanitary towels and books. This would enable them to pursue their education uninterrupted, chairman Charles Nyachae said recently. He said the new laws sought to help women excel in society and addresses the issues that may make them lose self-esteem.

Schoolgirls will begin receiving free sanitary pads next term.

The question is will all the girl child in the entire country within secondary schools receive these towels or just within the urban schools and leaving the unrecognized rural folks. Lets wait and here from the chairman if he is able to solve the rural problems too.

Though this is a good initiative as a country we have been lacking behind in some issues as this and things have been taken for granted.
