It's great to live in a country where you can meet the prime minister and take a selfie together 😊🇨🇦

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
