I think you highlighted one of the key issues in the South Sudan conflict right now, which is the vulnerability of women and children. We have seen this repeatedly and regularly over the past several years, and most recently with the recent renewed conflict that started in early July.
One example I'll point out that you are likely aware of already is the incident surrounding the mass rapes and sexual assaults against women, including girls, shortly after the conflict broke out in July. From a political standpoint we are quite public, vocally. Minister Dion as well as Minister Bibeau have expressed our deep concern over this and our support for UN efforts, including the UN mission in South Sudan, to help support the protection of civilians and to limit this culture of impunity.
Beyond what we are doing in terms of political and diplomatic efforts, I'll turn to my colleague Chantal Labelle, who can speak specifically to Canadian programming that is benefiting women and girls in South Sudan.
