I think this will be a huge step. Lifting women out of poverty is critical in curbing gender-based violence. Financial security is key. Economic dependence is one of the risk factors that put immigrant women at risk of gender-based violence.

I totally support a guaranteed livable income. Anything that can lift women out of poverty is welcome.

Thank you.
