Thank you very much, Chair.
I also thank the witnesses for being here today. This is a topic that has been of great concern to our government since we formed government in 2015, and we have been putting significant sums of money into organizations that are working directly against gender-based violence and preventing gender-based violence.
My question is for Ms. Quinn.
You addressed earlier that you're doing education, and I agree that. With men and boys, it's very important to do so. For women and girls, we've also heard that women and girls who face abuse growing up have more difficulty recognizing abuse in other relationships.
Can you explain or expand on how this trauma makes indigenous women and girls more vulnerable to sexual exploitation and what strategies we can use to address this? Could you also comment on whether you've seen the effects of the additional funding that this government has put into preventing gender-based violence?
