Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague on her touching speech. It is not every day that we are given explanations on this type of violence. When it comes to violence against women, the media often talks about pimping and prostitution, and that is how we learn a little more about this topic.
As my colleague explained, we often forget one common denominator, and that is human trafficking, particularly the trafficking of women. My colleague is a recognized expert on street gangs and we often consult with her on this topic. In my opinion, a link can also be made between the harmful actions of street gangs and the trafficking of women. Unfortunately, street gangs are using the trafficking of women more and more to help their repulsive trade prosper.
I would like the hon. member to explain a little about the link between the trafficking of women and street gangs.
