Frankly speaking, we have been having discussions lately with Canada to obtain support for the White Helmets and to work with the Government of Canada to empower and enforce the participation of women in Syria and Syrian society in the field of civil defence, in order to target a larger number of people. We are also working on the development of the institutions and stations of the White Helmets as well as raising the awareness of civil society and the community to fight violence against civilians. There is also co-operation to work against the use of cluster bombs. This will be a first step in the right direction and will give us the opportunity to have women play a better role in our society.
