Thanks, Ketty.
I totally agree. I think we need to be aware that the attacks against the most marginalized communities and human rights defenders are usually a canary in the coal mine that indicates a broader crackdown on democratic space and on civic space.
Right now, for example, there are the attacks on trans communities, LGBTQ organizing and the organizing of trans women in particular. The huge attacks that we see on them is a sign of what's to come in terms of broader attacks on women's rights, on human rights and on civic space. Seeing these as isolated incidents is dangerous, not only for their rights but also for the health of our democracies.
I just want to say, this week alone around International Women's Day, we've seen huge attacks, tens of thousands of people attacking one of our Oxfam Canada board members, an incredible trans woman activist. This is a sign that is incredibly concerning because it's also happening here in Canada.
