Thank you very much.
I really want to thank our witnesses. I think there's a lot of information here that we can put into our recommendations, largely because of your direct connections with human rights defenders and women human rights activists.
I was very interested, Ms. Nivyabandi, when you talked about the sophisticated transnational anti-feminist narratives. I do believe, Ms. Ravon, that you mentioned that the backlash against women's rights is interconnected. We know that this is happening globally and that means Canada's not immune.
I'd like to direct this question first to Ms. Nivyabandi.
You spoke in your remarks about some of the needs that human rights defenders have once they get here. You touched on the need for protection and the threats that they continue to face once they're here. I wonder if you could elaborate a little bit on that, and then I'll ask Ms. Ravon to comment as well.
