Okay.
First, we are focusing on reaching the most isolated women in the community. We don't wait for them to come to us. We try to find out where they are and we send our workers. Sometimes we provide the services in the comfort of their home, just as a first step.
Also, we have special programs for women of different cultures. Native women are different; it's not homogeneous. We have special language programs for women. We use our organization as a bridge to connect the women to the bigger society.
My experience with the women under arranged marriages and who have come to Canada is different from Ms. Laila's. We work with 15,000 clients every year, and we have the statistics. There are some women who didn't know their husbands before coming here, but we cannot generalize about this. This is the same as young women who were brought up in Canada meeting somebody at the university and getting married. Then after marrying, they say, “Oh, if I knew my husband had this nature, I would never have married”. This happens, and we cannot blame only the people from certain communities. It happens everywhere.
We also have special programs for women. When we work with women, we get the entire family involved. It's important to get men involved, and also faith groups, because sometimes they go to the faith groups. In order to prevent violence, you cannot work exclusively with the women, especially with the communities in which I work. We also work with the Iranians, the Middle East, and Afghanis. We do that.
We have parenting programs for them. I don't mean that they don't know parenting, but their style is different, so we do the parenting programs for them. We talk a lot about women's rights, violence against women, how to protect themselves, and the Canadian law. This is how we work with them.
