Mr. Speaker, today is the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women.
This day also marks the beginning of the 16 days of activism against gender violence. Canada signed on to the UNIFEM “Say No - Unite to End Violence Against Women” campaign on behalf of the Government of Canada and we have also endorsed the Iqaluit declaration which recognizes the need for sustained and coordinated action to reduce sexualized violence against aboriginal women.
Could the minister of state please update this House on what Canadians can do to end violence against women?
