I know for sure, because I live in British Columbia, where the Ministry of Women's Equality has been dismantled and where funding to women's centres has been dismissed, and the effect on not only women's equality awareness and the public discussion around women's equality as well as the services and the ways in which women can be empowered by accessing those services...has been reduced dramatically. I know that for sure.
