Geeti Shafia: Sahar

Youth Protection Dept: After Zainab, Sahar and Geeti Shafia died in honour killings orchestrated by their parents and brother, youth protection organizations that had dealt with the troubled Montreal family pledged to examine their practices, according to Montreal Gazette. When someone calls youth protection, front-line workers have been instructed to ask whether the caller wants to signal a case of abuse or is simply calling for a consultation or to ask a question. We want to clarify the intentions of the caller, Dionne said and agencies staff get more training on answering calls Since the high-profile murders of the Shafia daughters and their aunt in 2009, youth protection workers have changed some of their procedures, said Michelle Dionne, the head of youth protection at the Centre de jeunesse de Montr al.
