I am grateful for this government for enabling me study through different levels of education, and the subsequent support I received for employment. I have a well-to-do family and I have very healthy kids. My husband and I have equal responsibility at home because the government has promoted women emancipation. I have a cow, I am running a business---what more can I say?
