Absolutely. I wanted to say it's not only marginalizing women, it's also marginalizing the communities they come from and targeting certain communities more so. I think it takes us away from the discourse and the reality that violence against women happens across cultures and across people's historical backgrounds, and more so when there has been a history of colonization and there has been a history of marginalization of other kinds.
Not considering violence against women a holistic issue and coming up with the discourse that there is some kind of barbaric culture in certain communities and new immigrants are necessarily more violent than people living here in Canada I think is very problematic. As I said before, the programming and the service delivery needs to be sensitive and aligned to people's distinct needs, but framing an issue and homogenizing communities, saying that they need it because they are less cultured than we are living here in Canada, is a problematic discourse and framework.
