I absolutely agree with Lana. I think it needs to start really early.
The issue of stable funding and continuous funding is a big issue. We have some great projects, and they all end after either a year or two years. ISANS has 120 staff, but not one staff member has a contract beyond a year. We only have a contract for a year. That means we can't continue; we can't even look at really short-term outcomes until the following year, and then it's just a cycle.
I think we need to look at the whole issue holistically as well. I really appreciated what all my colleagues said around...just the rhetoric around let's protect women. I think we need to make women the leaders. We need to put the women out to the front, and by women I mean girls as well, so start that really early. But I think we also need to look at it in family units, because for immigrant women, as we've said, immigrant women for the most part do not want to leave the family and they don't want to leave the abuser. They just want the abuse to stop. There may be situations where some may consider that it's not the best thing for them, but as you so eloquently said, it's up to the women to make that decision. I think we have to look at all of this through the lens of different cultures. It may not be what other people think is appropriate, but it may be okay in different cultures.
