To that, which constitutes more of a micro component of the fight against violence, I would add a macro component. Amnesty International has developed an action plan to try to increase the awareness of agencies that work with women on the specific problem of aboriginal women, on the violence they suffer.
I think that, if a lot of women felt supported politically, it would be a little easier to move forward and develop initiatives to combat violence. There has to be something at the federal and provincial levels. Often, with regard to violence, people act at the community and city levels. There has to be an action plan that is much more widespread, much more extensive.
