I'm not sure about that, again because of what we've heard from aboriginal women, not just for me.
You're absolutely right that a woman would have every right to go to court and get an order of sole occupation in an urgent situation, or the police would come and remove the husband from the home, and those kinds of things. Sometimes they don't avail themselves of that because they're afraid that if they try contacting the police, they will come to very, very serious harm. The same problems would occur but perhaps be even greater in a first nations community.
