Mh. Sekiboko amesema wanawake wanapaswa kutumia teknolojia ya mawasiliano kujiendeleza kibiashara na kuwafundisha wanawake wengine mbinu mbalimbali za kujikwamua kiuchumi kwa kutumia simu za mikononi. Pia amewaasa wazazi kuwaelekeza watoto wao matumizi sahihi ya mitandao ya kijamii ili kuwasaidia kujikwamua kiuchumi na kujiendeleza kielimu kuliko kutumia muda mwingi katika kuperuzi tovuti na kurasa zisizo na maadili.
“Wanaume wanapaswa kushirikiana na wanawake katika kulea familia kwa upendo na sio kuwaachia wanawake wenyewe’, amesema Mh. Sekiboko. Halikadhalika amepinga vikali uwepo wa mila potofu ambazo humkandamiza mwanamke kama vile kurithi mke wa marehemu kwani ni mila inayohatarisha usalama wa afya ya mwanamke anayerithiwa.
Upande wa kupinga ukatili wa kijinsia Mh. Sekiboko amesema wazazi wanapaswa kuwafundisha watoto wao michezo yenye staha, michezo ambayo haitawafanya watu wengine wawatamani watoto kutokana na maumbile, hivyo si vyema mzazi kumruhusu mtoto kunengua mbele za watu ili kumkinga na unyanyasaji wa kijinsia.

Hon. Sekiboko said that women should use communication technology to develop themselves commercially and teach other women various ways to get help themselves economically by using mobile phones. She also urged parents to direct their children to the correct use of social networks to help them develop themselves educationally instead of spending a lot of time browsing immoral websites and pages.
“Men should cooperate with women in raising a family with love and not leave it to women themselves”, said Hon. Sekiboko Furthermore, she strongly opposed the existence of stereotypes that oppress women, such as inheriting the wife of the deceased, as it is a tradition that endangers the health of the inherited woman.
On sexual violence issues Hon. Sekiboko said that parents should teach their children decent games, games that will not make other people want to exploit children, so it is not good for a parent to allow a child to play in front of people to protect him from sexual abuse.
