Mr. Speaker, today we remember the 14 young women whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence that shocked a nation.
On December 6, we must reflect on the phenomenon of gender-based violence in our society and consider concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. Every action matters when it comes to preventing gender-based violence.
Our government is developing a federal gender-based violence strategy that will raise awareness and take action to end the violence that women and girls face in our country today.
