What a great question. Everybody here wants to answer that.
What I think is that we found we were asking that question too. We were wondering what's happening with the money that's being spent on this issue and why we are not seeing satisfactory results.
So we started asking that question. We asked people: individuals, community organizations, and social services organizations across the board. What we're working on now is this integration that we talked about with police forces and Child and Family Services. There needs to be an integration among social service providers, with a singular goal: to have it as a goal to reduce violence against aboriginal women and girls and to have it being to create strategically...to work with each other to create initiatives towards that goal.
I'm talking about domestic violence prevention programs that educate men and boys, for instance; transition services for people moving from a reserve to an urban area; and having the police and the justice folks and the people who do justice advocacy at John Howard and Elizabeth Fry in the same room and having them working together in all the ways, with all the tools we have at hand, to put our efforts towards that one goal of reducing violence against aboriginal women.
