Thank you very much.
I wish we could indeed add more money to this department, because it seems to me that the work you do is quite remarkable. You described an incredible array of activities and advocacies.
I'm quite interested in what you said about the contribution that SWC made in regard to protecting women connected with trafficking--immigrants and refugees. Obviously that contribution came from research reports and the work that women's groups were doing on the ground, which leads me to my question. How does the department plan to consult with women's organizations now on the key public policy issues in the next year if groups that receive money from women's programs are no longer able to do the research or engage in advocacy of the kind that Ms. Smith and you were talking about?
I also wondered how SWC plans to fulfill its goal of development of an equitable public policy if women's groups on the ground that do the work you were describing with communities across the country can't do the necessary work they need to do to document inequities and provide the solutions that we've been seeking in regard to trafficking and other issues.
