Yes, absolutely. I have recently spent a number of weeks in Haiti. During that time, I followed the female police officers who were on patrol in IDP camps. I saw the role and the impact they had, and how they established a relationship of trust with women who were victims of any form of violence.
The Pearson Peacekeeping Centre made a short documentary on the role and impact of these policewomen. It is available on our website. I urge you to watch it. It really pinpoints the importance of these women's role and it shows that a woman who is a victim of violence opens up more—as difficult as it may be—to a woman than to a man.
