I will speak from personal experience because I was the victim of violence in a relationship years ago, but that's not there anymore. At that time, I was young. I didn't know anything about violence. It was acceptable in the community. As I got older, I got out of the relationship.
At that time, I would have probably needed the support from, say, counsellors, or support workers, or RCMP, or nurses, just to get information on what my rights were or where I needed to go to get help, how I could get help, and if I would be protected if I charged this person. What is needed today is education regarding violence.
