Have you noticed a change in the shelters' clientele?
For our part, we're raising awareness about the fact that women who haven't been able to work their whole lives and who are victims of violence, once they reach a certain age, can no longer make ends meet and end up on the streets. More and more people are struggling to make ends meet, even if they are working—especially older women.
Would it be important to promote women's economic empowerment early on so that they are financially stable enough to make the decision to break the cycle of violence?
Would it also be important to have programs to promote this and a social safety net that provides them with sufficient support?
