That's interesting, given what we've seen in our own country.
I'm quite familiar with the area of violence against women. We've seen record cuts to programming vis-à-vis women, whether for housing or women's shelters or advocacy. Time and time again we hear that certainly people on the front line dealing with violence against women, an issue that very much affects many of us in our country, are crippled by the lack of funding, the lack of long-term stability, and the obvious lack of government support.
Of course, who would invest in something like a women's shelter? Or who would invest in working with indigenous women who are marginalized in our communities? Who would invest in supporting health services for sex workers? We're looking through the lens of marginalized peoples in our society and asking if anybody would invest. Is it not the role of the government to invest and support folks, including those who are working on violence against women, to support survivors of violence as they go forward?
