Access application context in companion object in kotlin

Question

How can we access application context inside companion object in Android kotlin? I have a companion object inside an abstract class and I want to access context to read Shared Preferences, but I'm not able to get the context.

UPDATE: I'm working with this stuff in an Android library and also the class that I'm working in is abstract
