Sandy Crawley, of Halton Women‘s Place, a shelter for battered women and their children, said she sees eviâ€" dence of this attitude in every surâ€" vivor of assault coming to the sanctuâ€" ary. "We know the attitude that women are inferior to men â€" and that men have the power â€" perpetrates vioâ€" lence against women. That‘s it in a nutshell," she said. "The panel spent a Poor economy makes changes difficult lot of money confirming that. I think the $10 million could have been spent to further help the survivors." How to get men to give up the power is through education, said House. Although judges and the police are starting to take steps to senâ€" sitize themselves to women‘s feelings after they have been assaulted, much more has to be done. "When judges throw out rape cases or they (perpetrators) are given light sentences, you know they haven‘t really understood the impact on women of rape, wife abuse, date rape or any type of assault," she said.

House noted this could be difficult to attain since women‘s wages are currently about 66% that of men. And in a poor economic cliâ€" mate, women were even more hamâ€" strung. "You have to be careful of a backâ€" lash in pushing for pay equity in a bad economy," she noted. "Women might be accused of taking men‘s 847â€"8118 jobs away from them or things like that." Now that the report is out, howevâ€" er, the government should take action to carry out the panel‘s recommendaâ€" tions, said the women, especially those relating to bias in the judicial system. But other sources note that carrying out the close to 500 recomâ€" mendations listed in the report would probably cost the government milâ€" lions of dollars and that some notâ€"soâ€" new recommendations, including a national childâ€"care program, have already been rejected by the governâ€" ment. ‘o ‘3ny ‘Kepuq 4771 A
