The difference is that, when women come to the cities, the social fabric is thinner. As a result, they—especially those who are released from a detention facility—are often significantly more isolated. Often, the people and family that were around them before are no longer there. The isolation is significant, and the friendship centres can help break it. Of course, in terms of hardship, the conditions are similar in rural communities and in urban areas, but the social fabric around those women is very thin.
