Women in domestic abuse shelters are not ‘charity cases’ they are victims of crimes. They are not weak or ignorant - they are courageous strong and intelligent. They shouldn’t need to be ‘secured’ in a shelter - they should be in their home and the abuser should be ‘secured’.
You’re not ‘renewing dignity’ of a survivor by making a shelter nice. You renew a survivor’s dignity by securing their perpetrator and giving them the life they deserve.
