I asked that because I know that even for the Canada child benefit, depending on immigration status, there are individuals who can't even qualify for it, which is concerning when we're talking about poverty being a factor that forces individuals to stay in situations of violence.
With that in mind, we know that in organizations providing support to women who are experiencing gender-based and intimate partner violence there have been some discussions about looking at providing services and programs through an intersectional lens to respond to different barriers that women or individuals of diverse genders face. Why is using an intersectional lens so critical for addressing this issue for all women and diverse-gendered individuals?
