Status of Women committee  You asked Jamie earlier about the success of this program. It's the model that we have developed. This model is a true partnership between the BC Lions and a women-serving, women-centred organization. It's about working with men who are really committed to standing next to us, as women.

Status of Women committee  Thank you, Madam Chair and the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, for inviting Jamie Taras of the BC Lions football club and me to present on the importance of engaging boys and men in our national gender-based violence strategy. I'm Ninu Kang, executive director of the Ending Violence Association of BC, and I am calling from the unceded, ancestral and traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
