In terms of funding rape crisis centres and different organizations in the community and at universities to support victims of domestic violence and sexual violence, the reality is that we need a bit of a focus shift, because for the costs that we pour into those programs, we have to remember that we are saving ourselves the cost of going to mental health programming later.
The number of costs in the system because of violence and its fallout from legal costs to ongoing psychological care that can extend for the victim's life really are incredible. We need to recognize what we're saving ourselves by putting those resources into those helping organizations now.
