Mr. Speaker, ending violence against women is the responsibility of all governments, civil society and other partners. Our government is working hard to end violence against women here and abroad.
It is important to realize that violence against women takes many forms. Above all it is important to break the silence so that we can finally eradicate this violence.
That is why our government is introducing certain bills so that criminals, and not victims, pay for their crimes.
Let us take a moment to remember all those women who have lost their lives and all those who have lost their self-confidence, and let us give ourselves the tools to change things once and for all.
