Again I totally agree. We keep doing human rights and development as though they are two separate things, and they are not. Once you achieve human rights—and it happens, and these women are speaking out, and girls are beginning to go to school, and high school is what I'm talking about—all of a sudden there are these opportunities.
If we can't find a way to continue to fund those ventures.... Often it's not just around Canadian NGOs, and I don't mean that. We have had groups in our area that have left and gone over to more emergency areas. Therefore, when we took over medicines when we were there a year ago January, there was nobody to dispense them, because the NGO that was qualified to do it had left.
It's not just that you fund it. It's that you work with partners within the region and try to bring them back as Canadian leadership. Let's say, all of us, let's work together to try to help that go forward, especially when it comes to gender issues.
