Status of Women committee  Thank you.

Status of Women committee  Madam Chair, may I address the question?

Status of Women committee  MP Dhillon, thank you for that question. As I mentioned, the intersectionality aspect is very important. One thing you've probably seen during this panel and you've probably experienced it in your communities is that Muslims are not a monolith. They are extremely diverse, racially, economically, ethnically, and in how they dress.

Status of Women committee  Thank you so much for those questions. Perhaps I could go back to the education we were talking about before. It's really important for all of this education to begin very early. I want to give you an example of how change can happen. I have two grandchildren who are doing online learning right now.

Status of Women committee  Thank you, MP Zahid, for that question about what the Canadian government can do. As I mentioned in my remarks, I think it is really important to pass meaningful legislation to deal with online hate, and enact better laws to look at hate crimes in a way that is not currently available to those making complaints, as well as the way the hate crime data are captured by different police services—well, in fact, all police services.

Status of Women committee  First of all, thank you so very much for inviting the Canadian Council of Muslim Women this morning, Madam Chair, parliamentarians, Madam Clerk and staff. My name is Nuzhat Jafri, and I am the executive director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, CCMW. I'm speaking to you from the traditional territory of the Anishinabe and Haudenosaunee peoples.
