Status of Women committee Just on forced marriages...? Well, I'm going to be presenting next week to the Senate committee on zero tolerance, as they're calling it. We're very upset, very disturbed. It's very discriminatory, but we'll talk about that another time. It's how the government is dealing with

Status of Women committee As I mentioned, first of all, we always make sure that, because we are addressing the needs of Canadian Muslim women, we educate them—as the people from Calgary were saying—that patriarchy is not acceptable either in Canada or within Islam, so we stress that by having an Islamic

Status of Women committee I think the best practice is that these women—these are all volunteers who provided the workshops—have to be supported by some paid staff, and unfortunately, that's where the funds come in. We didn't have enough. For example, we have this tool. It was tremendous. We said we would

Status of Women committee The Canadian Council of Muslim Women is grateful for this opportunity to address the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Violence against women is a complex, yet, simultaneously, a simple issue. If as a society and a country we believe in human rights for a

Citizenship and Immigration committee Well, I'm going to make a suggestion. I don't mind at all.... I've come from Kingston, and I would rather not present just now. This cutting off is rather difficult for all of you, but it's also difficult for us, because we've done a lot of work in order to give you a presentati

Procedure and House Affairs committee I hate to disagree with someone who is for democracy, but I wish your language was a little less inflammatory with reference to words like “sharia”, “gender apartheid”, and so on. We were the organization that fought against the Muslim family law in Ontario and got it, but it was

Procedure and House Affairs committee I seem to be repeating myself, I think, even this discussion again. There is no one Muslim community; there are Muslim communities. I think CAIR Canada has their own opinions, and they can express them. I don't think they are an illegitimate group. You're hearing different opin
