Thank you for raising that concern.
In terms of domestic violence, yes, it's very real. I'll just speak about my community of 20,000 people. We have a women's shelter that is always full. We have one shelter, so our women often get turned away from our own shelter.
In terms of economic security for those women, one of the other trends in the communities is that women will often seek education, but they don't go from high school directly. They're more likely to enter post-secondary education as mature students.
In terms of programming, how can we help these women who are often living in a cycle of poverty, violence, and addiction? Even if not directly dealing with addictions, how do we build more bridge programs for those women who want to remove themselves from that cycle and begin on a pathway towards self-sufficiency through education? We need programs that support women, more programs for domestic violence in the way of shelters, and more accessible programs.
