Housing women who have experienced abuse: policy, funding & practice

The 4 provincial studies explore national and provincial government policy and budgets in relation to the provision of shelter services for abused women. They also profile the needs of women, and their children, who sought residence in shelters, and assessed the ability of shelters to meet those needs in the context of state funding. Essentially the studies sought to determine whether the state was fulfilling its obligations in ensuring the provision of sheltering services to women.
