I think it was a year and a half ago that this committee did a study on the case of Omar Khadr, who was a child combatant. I'm sure you're aware of the case. We heard testimony about the kinds of things that were forced upon child soldiers, particularly on many who had been in Africa, in Sierra Leone, and places of that nature. You can understand that at the end of the situation the victims of the sexual assault have post-traumatic stress and all the complications of that mentally, plus the societal problems they face. In addition, the perpetrators will face horrendous guilt at some point in their lives; at some point they will address this in their own lives.
Until society as a whole in these countries not only accepts responsibility and stops that sexual assault and deems it to be the horrendous crime it is and comes to terms with addressing both the victims and the perpetrators, it will be a very difficult situation to change. It seems to me there's a horrendous need for on-the-ground education and understanding.
