I should just clarify that all of these children are the same age, 19 years old, since the events took place between April and July 1994. They don't range in age from 15 to 19; they are all 19 years old, give or take a month or two, but no more.
These children are left to their own devices. I talked about the fact that they have been rejected by their mothers, their families, their classmates and playmates, as well as the government. Nothing can be done as far as the relationship with their mother is concerned. It's impossible, as I explained. The children remind these women of the suffering they endured during the genocide. Keep in mind that these women were raped after their children and husbands were killed. They can't accept a child of rape taking the place of everyone they loved. These children weren't born of love.
Nothing can be done to make surviving family members or classmates accept these children. But, as I said, something can be done to make the government accept them.
As I pointed out, these children deserve the same benefits afforded to those who survived the genocide. I made that very clear. And as long as Canada does not provide any assistance, there is nothing it can do to influence the Rwandan government. It would be a different story if we were in London or Washington; things could be done. There are no other options.
