One thing that happens when women are fleeing violence and go to a shelter is that they lose their employment. It's not all, but I think it's about two-thirds of them. They're giving up their income and they need to start over. Obviously, it's a long path to get back to having housing for those who lose employment, and to re-establishing an income and a stable living environment for their children. There can be long-term trauma. Certainly in Canada we need more supportive housing with trauma-informed services.
I would like to defer a bit to Anuradha on this and see if she has anything to add, because she is the director of violence prevention at the CWF.
