When we're talking about young women and girls specifically, they see a lot through media, online—I touched on this when I was speaking—in schools, and even with their families. Young girls are growing up learning that their worth comes from being sexually desirable to young men. Boys learn from the same outlets of media, online, school, friends and family, that it's acceptable for men to maintain power and control over women.
Really, having a national mandatory curriculum from kindergarten all the way up to high school is what we would recommend. I say national, because I think it would be very important for the provincial and federal levels of government to work together to create consistency across the country, so all children learn about the impacts of violence against women throughout their entire school career. One of the most important things is to talk about it.
To be honest with you, I have two very young children who are in grade 2, and I know I can have conversations at that age about how to treat people. I think starting from a young age is very important.
