I can only speak about my experience. I'm not more familiar than that. We have a sister clinic; we're co-located, that helps. It's a family law clinic, because family law is often an underfunded area of legal aid. Our sister clinic is now involved in providing services. I don't have statistics on how many women are accessing such services versus men's access to the services, but obviously enough resources going into legal aid for people in situations where they don't have the resources is incredibly important. I think legal aid struggles with which areas to fund, but obviously indigenous women, family-law-type matters, etc., are in need of funding for sure.
