Well, I think the issue doesn't seem to be so much the conditional status, it seems to be the issue of women being able to access the help and resources they need when they're in positions where they are being abused. A huge barrier for women who are in these vulnerable situations is their inability to speak an official language. It's very difficult to access front-line support networks when you're not able to communicate, when you don't know your rights, when you're unsure of your legal status in the country. I think some of the recommendations I've made to help strengthen that could help alleviate some of these concerns.
