This is the clinical practitioner in me speaking now. I would just like to come back to skills for women. I think it's important to develop women's skills. At the same time, we too often neglect resources for our men. Our men are engaged in violence, whether it's domestic violence or another form of violence, but the men are victims as well. So I think we need to stop always talking about “the women, the women”, and pay more attention to our men.
At present, this is what's happening in our communities: our women are taken out of their homes to be put in safe houses, but we leave our men there who are suffering. So, when the women come back, the men will be experiencing that suffering even more acutely. They will never have received any services and the cycle will begin all over again. So, we really have to focus on resources for our men.
