Thank you.
My last idea is along the lines of the burden of proof.
Right now, as we understand it and how we've been advised by other witnesses, the burden of proof for the occurrence of the violence rests with the abused woman. In your experience, is it usually easy for them to prove the occurrence of the violence? Instances where there's physical abuse, if there are bruises or cuts or burns, is pretty easy to prove if you've taken a photo of it. My question also goes along the lines of psychological, financial, emotional abuse, all of those. In your experience is it relatively easy for these immigrant women to make these types of attestations or to prove this in a court of law?
I'll start with Ms. Neufeld, and then go with Madame Desloges.
