This is something I gave as testimony on to the inquiry as well, when they were here in Yellowknife.
In my opinion, when it comes to women needing to flee violent relationships, they go to urban centres. When they go to urban centres, women end up in Edmonton, Vancouver, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Montreal and Nova Scotia. This is where we lose our aunts, our sisters, our babies and our grandmothers because they've been completely removed from their support systems. They fall into this cycle of down-spiralling victimization.
It's a huge issue.
