Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity to present to the status of women committee this morning. We're especially honoured to be a part of the discussions during the 16 days of activism against gender violence.
I'm Bonnie Johnston, CEO of the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary, and with me is Jenny Ofrim, our evaluation coordinator.
Today we are going to talk about the critical connections between child abuse and violence against women, and to offer recommendations for promising practices to address and prevent these crimes.
