We have obviously seen struggles with it in our sport in the past, and the mistreatment or the mishandling of that situation for far too long.
I'll speak on behalf of our team when I say, with the women's national team, we have always had—since I've been on the team—a fantastic group of people working as our staff and as our teammates. They have always created an environment where we feel safe—where I feel safe, speaking for myself, personally.
We have a very clear culture of morals and values that we all share and that ring true for all of us. I think all these players next to me would agree that when you walk into our team environment, there's a vibe. There's an ambiance of positivity and family orientation, as well as an expectation of operating at the highest level in a high-performance environment. That's something that has had to be created over a long period of time. I would say that's created by the human beings who are in our environment, by the education we have been given and by the fact that we've chosen to go towards this as athletes, as women and as humans.
We've done some education as a team, in the past, on issues that our society faces. One thing that should absolutely be in place for all sporting teams in Canada is mandatory education on abuse, gender equality, openness, discrimination and those kinds of things. Our team has always been a very shining light in that regard, but there have absolutely been issues with those topics in Canada Soccer and across the country.
