I am starting a sexual violence program here in Homalco First Nation. I'm primarily focused on women and girls, but I know that there is an utter lack of programs and services for men and boys.
When men want to come forward and be forthright and honest about what they've been through and what they're doing as offenders, there's no support. If you come forward and say something, the entire community will try to drive you out.
That's what happened during the TRC. There was no support in place. Women were disclosing, and men were being removed and sent to jail.
