When we talk about access to income, we also mean access to jobs that offer equitable pay. So it is a matter of pay equity. We also have to encourage women to diversify the occupations they are going to work in, in order to have adequate pay and sources of validation.
We can also look at how workplaces can help women get away from a violent situation. The Canadian Labour Congress has done a lot of work on this. In Quebec, we have a campaign called Milieux de travail alliés contre la violence conjugale that urges employers to provide information to victims, to support them, and to accommodate them if they need to ask for help and take leave, for example.
These are all among the conditions that could facilitate and could remove barriers for victims who are trying to escape from a violent partner.
