When a violent offender has been released on bail, women are constantly fearing for either their lives or their safety. They cannot leave their homes without fear. They are constantly looking over their shoulders to see what's going to happen next. It's very difficult to live like that. Nobody should have to live like that. Just to be clear, it's very important that those types of experiences are considered when looking at changing any legislation or law.
The reality is that organizations like ours are working every single day to work ourselves out of a job. We don't want, in 2025, to have to provide service over 10,000 times in a year. We really need to make sure that every single system is working together to provide every opportunity for real justice.
