Thank you very much.
All of your organizations play a critical role, both at home and overseas, and are critical components of civil society and rebuilding civil society in countries like Haiti that have gone through disasters. I was really glad to hear Kevin specifically say that we're sometimes very good at addressing the immediate disaster and going in, but often the chronic problems remain. So it's important that we stay there until we've stabilized and put something in place long term.
My specific questions are around security and sexual violence. All of your organizations are on the ground. So give us any information you have around what is happening in the camps with systemic sexual violence and what you are doing to address issues in this area.
I'll throw out a couple of questions at the same time, because I know they will get to all of you one way or another.
How are we ensuring that women are engaged, not only in rebuilding, education, and capacity building, but in economic development? We know that is central to re-establishing some continuity and stability. What steps are being taken to rebuild the women's movement, because during these kinds of disasters women often end up being the most disenfranchised?
What could we as Canadians be doing to assist in this momentum for education, which we realize is absolutely fundamental to re-establishing peace, security, and long-term sustainability for Haiti?
I know I've thrown out a lot, but I'm hoping you can encapsulate it for me.
