I mentioned some, including for example how different European countries offer respite and quick visas to get defenders out of emergency situations. That's something that Canada could take another look at. It would be interesting. The Government of Sweden has piloted an emergency bracelet program, Project Natalia, where defenders have a bracelet they can activate if they are picked up by authorities. That might be something to look at. Certainly the way different governments fund organizations through their aid programs, or other ways, that support defenders would be something that would be really important to look at as well. Given the importance that these networks of women human rights defenders and LGBTIQ defenders, how we can best support those movements is really important as well.
