Thank you.
I was talking about how, in contrast to the extractive type of infrastructure that we sometimes imagine—pipelines are top of mind—we have an additive infrastructure that is about providing care and support. It's a very gendered kind of infrastructure. I think it's really helpful for us to think about the kinds of resources that we need to have in place in the caring economy.
We know that this economy is overwhelmingly female. In this area of work, it's work often done by women, for women, on issues that overwhelmingly impact women and other folks who are survivors. I think that we need to see that as part of our infrastructure plan.
It's been a long time since we had really good numbers at the national level about the cost of gender-based violence, but we know that, in 2009, the cost of intimate partner violence was $7.4 billion. That's the justice system and health.
