Yes, I'm obviously familiar with Dr. Ungar's work in the centre there. Really, we're talking about the same thing: that protective factors lead to resilient outcomes. I think there are assets or resiliency factors or protective factors—whatever you want to call them—that operate at different levels, so there are things you can do with the girls themselves, and then absolutely you need to have resiliency for protective environments. So we need to work with schools and communities, right up to your colleague's last point about the media. We can't just work with the girls themselves when we're working in a system that doesn't value them or that is bombarding them with these sexualized messages, or in which they're experiencing tremendous levels of violence just because they're girls. We need to work at all those levels, because resiliency comes from all of those.
