Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Gupta, I’d like to discuss a subject that hasn’t been touched on as much during questions, until now. In your opening statement, you talked about the issue of intimate partner violence and the consequences it can have on women’s psychological and physical health. More and more places throughout the country are stating that intimate partner violence is a serious problem, and some are even talking about an epidemic.
Is this really a good way to start drawing connections between women’s health and the issue of intimate partner violence, as well as its impact?
