Thank you, and thank you to our witnesses today.
One of the themes this committee has been hearing over the past few meetings has been the impact of sexual violence, gender-based violence and the lasting impact and trauma it has on women and girls who are survivors of this violence. One of the previous witnesses at this committee said that we will not be able to improve the mental health of young women and girls if we don't deal with sexual violence.
Ms. Andrich from Klinic touched on this. I'm wondering if Ms. Andrich and then Ms. Simon could talk about the lasting impact of sexual violence and what their thoughts are on the need to act to end sexual violence in our country.
