Status of Women committee  I want to check in on her for a second, on the whole thing about having community safe houses and stuff for all women of all ages. I don't remember whom I was talking to but somebody told me that the average age of sexual exploitation is 13. How many 11- and 12-year- olds made 13 the average age?

Status of Women committee  The first person I told about the way I present myself was Alana last night, so I thought it would be great to tell you guys because I've been holding it in so much. Why not just put it out there? Somebody has to get the conversation started so the opportunity came, and I did it.

Status of Women committee  One of the biggest mentors I had was my mom. When I first applied for Daughters of the Vote, I was saying, “No, wait. I don't want to go any more.” But then she kept pushing me. She was saying, “This is your way to go somewhere where you want to go.” Regarding the other question, do you think you could slightly paraphrase it again?

Status of Women committee  I don't have an answer. I'm sorry.

Status of Women committee  Thank you. Good morning. My name is Shania Pruden. I am representing Elmwood—Transcona from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Did you know that according to the Native Women's Association, indigenous women are almost three times more likely to be murdered by a stranger than a non-indigenous woman is?

Status of Women committee  It's scary. Tragedy can happen at any time. Indigenous or not, women are women, and I strongly agree that violence against women has to stop. It's not fair that women have to live in fear. When we work together, we can help end violence against women once and for all. Thank you.
