Obviously, for many of these women, even though they have an internalized belief of oppression and abuse, once they are here they know something else is being offered here. They know Canada as a women's-rights country. They know that, and they are willing to learn. However, they are scared to leave their husbands behind, because they know many of these men harass women. For years to come, they have to deal with situations that are very unbelievable and hurtful.
Those women are being taught and actually attend the therapy sessions, and deal with the emotions. They understand they can change and learn the new values, and they are doing it very quickly. I don't have the study here, but there was a very interesting study done by Stockholm University many years ago, about how women are integrating faster than men. As I'm talking about this, many men would disagree. However, this is true.
