For our community, I would say it would definitely help to take those women out of isolation. Now, the problem with a lot of the eastern cultures is that it's socially accepted. It's part of the culture. These women remain silent about it. I think they should be maybe more informed. It would be good to have their families here.
MAFCAN works to bring the community closer. We organize events where they come out for religious gatherings and all kinds of events. It kind of helps to be out of isolation. I think it would be more helpful if maybe they were more informed of their rights, of Canadian values. Oftentimes, even though members of the family do agree that there's violence, they will still accept it. They see it as part of the culture, unfortunately.
