Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister. Welcome to our committee.
Status of Women Canada is very focused on preventing violence against women and girls, and doing so through engaging with the community and changing attitudes towards women. For example, your recent call for proposals about combatting cyberviolence and sexual violence invited communities to propose solutions and programs that lent peer-to-peer support around these problems and offered measures that came from the communities themselves.
We know that in order to work toward eliminating violence against women and girls, we need to engage all members of society, so I want to ask you specifically about the roles that men and boys have to play in this. Could you please inform the committee about what kinds of projects you've been involved in that are aimed specifically at men and boys? What is it that makes them effective?
