Absolutely. That is really, desperately needed. The burden that is on the shoulders of women is just untenable. When you've been traumatized and abused, to have to leave your home and not know where you're going to live or not know how you're going to support yourself or your children is torturous. It's a torturous path for women.
We need to think about ways to hold men accountable. If the people who are committing violence are the people who need to be removed, how do we do that in a way that keeps them accountable and also provides them with the services they need in order to change their behaviours? Otherwise, they just go on to do the same thing with other partners.
I think it's an innovative idea that we need to really pursue.
