Cut down on the amount of bureaucracy that is present in order to make it user-friendly for the women seeking services.
Some of the women I work with as a social worker have musculoskeletal or physical issues from the abuse. They don't want to go through the medical processes, because it's so tedious to prove the injury is military service-related. It stops them from going through it. It also repeats the trauma over and over again. It's retraumatizing and revictimizing.
Would it be possible for me to expand upon the last question?
I needed to gather evidence of sexual abuse for the Human Rights Tribunal. I had to go through access to information. The request went through the member who was sexually exploiting me. I was looking for telephone records. Of course, the member was not able to provide them, and I needed to get a warrant in order to get the evidence.
I can't get evidence unless a policing body goes and looks for the evidence. In the military, the request went directly to the person who was accused of abusing me.
