We're thankful for your testimony, but more thankful for the work that you do in educating people on human rights. Today's our National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women in Canada.
One of the things I've noticed in the 10-plus years I've been on this committee is the very—how would I say it—troubling, and I'll use the term “barbaric”, use of women in warfare these days, to do the worst possible things to women to degrade them in front of their families, to demoralize their families. We didn't see this in terrorism or warfare to this degree years ago.
First, do you see the escalation that I see? Second, how are you dealing with the reality today of this terrible inhumane practice?
