Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll start with a few comments. Maybe I am more optimistic than Madam Brown. I am not quite sure about donor fatigue, as the OECD registered a significant increase in ODA from various countries—not Canada, of course—last year. This year there is still an increase, so I am not quite sure we can speak about donor fatigue. Sorry, it's a French word and I can't pronounce it in English.
I was quite struck by your comments, Mr. Chauvin, that we should look at ourselves also. Would it be used in Canada or public health institutions, or even the census maybe? That is my point of view. I think it matches very well with the sustainable development goals that are being developed and that are going to be universal, which means that we will have to look at ourselves also.
I was struck by the answer you gave, Dr. Bhutta, about female genital mutilation. I lived in Senegal for a few years, and they basically managed to get rid of female genital mutilation, which indeed was not linked to a religious belief or anything like that. As you said, it was through working with community leaders and religious leaders, and also offering an alternative job to the women who used to do that, which is a very practical thing—training them to become nurses, midwives, and other things—along with education. It did work.
I am finally getting to my question. The issue of education is absolutely key. Do you think that sexual education is also important and can help prevent early and forced marriages?
Maybe Dr. Bhutta can begin, and then anybody else who has something to add. It's sexual education and women's empowerment, of course.
