Daily life for an absued woman can be a battle enough in itself, without feeling that they have to fight the government for what they should be entitled to.

The funding priority for battered women shelters (BWS) should be the same as for prisons, because human life is at risk. Prisons keep the criminals and the murderers in and BWS's keep the good people in, and the criminals and the murderers out. The funding for BWS, should come from taxes, the same taxes that support prisons, because BWS's stop citizens from being killed. There are Salvation Army-type homeless shelters for the very few men who are victims of domestic violence. Earl Katie:

But not because some women happen to be smaller than some men. The state ought provide resources to all individuals subjected to violence and trauma regardless of their size, or their gender identity. Men are victims of domestic violence too. Katie Earl,
