If this legislation had been in place, she would have had more rights than she did. Here she was in a community for two and a half years, where she had friends and had developed relationships with people. She probably could have gone, in an emergency situation, over to somebody's place, but because of the way the system is right now, with the band council resolution, she was the one who was asked to leave the community.
If this legislation had been in place, it would have changed that whole scenario. With the limited resources, there would at least have been a process for her to not be forcibly ejected from that home. Because violence was involved, she was victimized more than once: she was physically harmed, and then she had to leave her home of two and a half years, with her children.
