Crisis line urgently needed for victims of coerced sterilization: senator
OTTAWA — An Ontario senator is calling on the federal government to fund a crisis line for victims of coerced and forced sterilization to ensure traumatized women can access assistance.
Yvonne Boyer says her office has received numerous calls and e-mails from victims seeking help.
She says she has also been approached by victims during recent travels and stresses that a help line must be operated by an outside organization to ensure individuals feel comfortable reaching out.
