Thank you to the witnesses who are here today to help inform this committee on something as extremely important as gender-based violence.
I agree that gender-based violence, violence against women, is not something that will end in just a couple of years. Of course, this is a long-term national strategy. I can see that there are three pillars: prevention, support for survivors, and legal—helping people navigate the justice system.
With regard to the funding of $600 million that you mentioned, Ms. Butt, you said that about $415 million recently went to support shelters, to enhance gender-based violence programs, and you mentioned programs including men and boys as well. I was wondering if you could maybe point us in the direction of what specifically is being done to help men and boys get involved in finding a solution to ending gender-based violence.
Could you let us know to what extent we're including education at a very young age as well? I think in order to stop this from being an issue in the future, we need to nip it in the bud when kids are still in school. Could you maybe let us know if there's anything being done at that level?
