It would have been strange for it not to have been under the church at the time but we have moved along. It was a very brave step by the women at the time to take on that conservatism. I imagine those accessing support services for children experience financial poverty and family breakup. The greatest moral scandal of our time is homelessness. When parents split up, one parent may not be able to access rented accommodation due to poverty and the shortage of housing. Have the witnesses come across children who must interact with a homeless parent? We do not have child contact centres, but the witnesses have tried their best to facilitate children to see parents who are homeless and do not have the financial wherewithal to provide for the children or themselves.
