I spoke earlier about resources. It often happens that francophone women do not have information or have access to a very limited quantity of resources. Barriers to economic prosperity are a subject that generates emotional responses, and when people talk about it, they want to do it in their language. When there is no service that allows them to talk about it in their language, that is definitely an additional barrier to girls' economic prosperity. The fact that many francophone communities are isolated is also a factor. You mentioned Toronto, but in the north, isolated communities have very little or no access to resources. This is another obstacle that women may have to deal with.
