Absolutely. It's a very difficult and complicated situation. On one side, they are fleeing a controlled environment. One problem is that shelters do not have sufficient space in terms of really giving a safe environment for all women who need it. That's one side. On the other, the setting in the shelter system is limited space, shared space, with almost controlled curfews and so on.
We're talking about women who have experienced a lot of trauma and who just need space to recover and regroup from those experiences. That's actually why many of them return to the relationship, because they do have shelter, but they don't have the economic supports. They don't have any sort of idea as to what they do next or where they go next or where they turn.
I'm not sure if there's really a very fast type of resolution. That's why there's the second recommendation. Longer-term, affordable, independent housing for those women and girls who experience domestic violence would be a first step as a resolution. Then it would be providing them with the necessary supports in place to either progress their education and complete post-secondary education or have linkages to the labour market or employers so that they can secure the employment to be financially independent.
