Canada has taken important steps in defending women's rights. However, I think that we could go much further in terms of reproductive health rights, for instance. Canada is really lagging at the back of the class on this issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3716665\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> We can think about the rights of aboriginal women in Canada and the 1,200 murdered and missing aboriginal women. These are some of the issues. We can do much more, and Canada should be a champion of the rights of women and girls. </p>",

Le Canada a entrepris des d\u00e9marches int\u00e9ressantes sur la d\u00e9fense du droit des femmes. Toutefois, je pense que nous pourrions aller beaucoup plus loin quant aux droits de la sant\u00e9 reproductive, entre autres. Le Canada est vraiment \u00e0 l'arri\u00e8re de la classe sur cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3716665\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous pouvons penser aux droits des femmes autochtones au Canada et aux 1 200 femmes autochtones assassin\u00e9es ou disparues. Il y a l\u00e0 des enjeux. Nous pouvons faire beaucoup plus, et le Canada devrait \u00eatre un champion des droits des femmes et des filles.</p>"
