Poverty leaves women very vulnerable in many ways. It leaves them with not enough money to have a safe place to live. That's first and foremost. There's not enough money to provide for their kids. They feel they have no other choice but to get money sometimes in illegal ways. That creates a huge vulnerability. That also factors into women ending up in relationships that are unhealthy, again as a result of not having money.
At the end of the day, it's about those opportunities to give women a hand up out of poverty and the opportunity to have a living wage, an opportunity to sustain their household on their own without having to have somebody else in their life. There are critical intersections between poverty and violence against women. Poverty is the underlying thing in every risk factor for women along the continuum of violence against women, trafficking, sexual exploitation of women. It is an underlying issue across the spectrum.
