9:13 am
into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our and violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe.
9:14 am
isolation for unity. are you going the right way or are you being that. way. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or and maybe in the shallows. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. in the. past. day or thinks. we dare to ask.
9:15 am
or you know i found myself today i know i don't look at but i found myself in the home state and you know mom homelessness is not just a building i'm home is within my body because i don't know am i making the right choices and i don't live i don't know it's almost amazing just axing us and makes what i need to be still and be alright where i'm claim i'm a slave. no i'm not out there doing things it's going to cost me my home that i'm
9:16 am
this man you know am i going to stay over calling you one of john in my area and it's murder whatever. i want you have a chance if. you want to 1st i was actually attacked by a guy in the high end there and then he hit me in the face and inching choked me around my neck or survivorman. everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock for me high they actually caught that guy couple what is later to a week i actually in the phone into a seizure due to the and. he was going to his spot with little me come back and check off on me because i was laying out here by the arch. it's not everybody know it in in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that. they get lost in the in their. overall tapestry of promises i mean everybody's heart breaks for their children 1st
9:17 am
of all and rightly so then there is the veteran then there is the mentally ill. you would lose a specific population called women that are having very specific needs to a we are going to listen to enough so you know we made it a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and it's an unsafe place for women to. tell all our gotos to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark neighborhood that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. or know what i did when something. or were.
9:18 am
were. in the us is being told in a quote to good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with yoko many planes on h.b.o. to. me shit like bush workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job getting. the work of the federal 'd minimum wage is one created $938.00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to a 1000000 people wandering our nation looking for jobs it was the same and after the depression congress got together and started to say well we should set a standard that ensures that if somebody puts in their 40 hours in a week they can afford the basics so. it makes sense and makes sense to me it makes sense to you so we take that in the brace that but the problem is they never
9:19 am
indexed to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves of congress fight over debate over it and go do that and that back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar maybe it's $0.75 whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards you know we now have $3500000.00 people experiencing homelessness in this nation and what we could tell that house the homeless. there's tremendous efforts to try and deal with the fallout you know. some more successful than others some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know it's one. believes and it's an organization says 1989 so you know that's approach we are. and i used to look at this population as. who they are the breakdown the veterans. recently released people
9:20 am
out of the penal system single women single women with children so this is abusers alcoholics. really really all the different factions but now we stood back and looked at the folly of that approach and realize that in order to really deal with it in this society which is couples we view them as. this whole this group falls 'd into 22 factions those who can work and those who can't work so we walk away with this way it's 77 dollars in the quarter and 'd but i i live in america and anybody who's lived in america has traveled anybody who's traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. so they keep doing it's like 7 report for everybody
9:21 am
so whether you live in washington d.c. with a harley engine texas they're going to set it to 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to 10 dollars an hour well the day that adds pass to $10.00 an hour that's the president is promoting for. something to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington. at the same time that $10.00 an hour wage is going to hurt small business and will america and make no mistake most of america is ruled they're trying to push a round. peg into a square hole and they've been doing it over and over again and what happens is it's a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. because it's so nice you know we devised. a single national formula based on existing government guidelines.
9:24 am
that was how you. oh you learned do you. think let me ringback see do you can help me with it. forever even if you have. a little one of those little. you will lose your money. so here the road home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of us are. child and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. the c.p.s.
9:25 am
. we work very hard to reassure families that that that's not how it works their families are also subject to the whims of whether it's economic instability the or family instability or health problems. family is run out of resources and they're not able to stay in their apartment anymore stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel i mean. a lot of times by the time the families that walk through those doors they've exhausted all of those resources. how are you getting so wet child. yes so we have this huge playground there is. you know as a ramp for. all of the kids the stuff like that and still are still. they have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of the semen on because this is the men's side of the shelter we have our slide in the
9:26 am
playground for the kids and stuff like that. i've been on and off homelessness since having for the 1st 6 months of his life were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my burman. but for you know for after that 6 months we did pretty well you know we stayed with friends here and there we stayed with family but it sank i kind of started to feel like i was a burden these people you know because then they have to deal with my kid having his little fits in this that. you know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i can i just got really expensive really pricey so you get it you're just like all right well i'm going to keep doing it i'm going to do and i got to get up i got to work anyway having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of you don't really get much downtime expression when you're a single parent you don't at all you're constantly on the go on doing this doing
9:27 am
that picking up picking up that. so you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay weak there isn't that surprisingly i got off it by myself. i didn't go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it. i've been clean for 3 months. there are about 150 beds in this large storm area. for families who have small children it will be like if it's a single mom in a small one or 2 year old will share one of these small little bunks. and each family is allowed one of these totes per person so this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings in it. and that's not a lot of space as you can tell. it's tough for families. and
9:28 am
one of the great frustrations here in salt lake is that there's a substantial lack of affordable housing and so that's one of the barriers that clients have is finding a place that they can continue to afford after our assistance ends clients a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether it's on their criminal background or they have evictions from prior apartments and so it can sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're in.
9:29 am
we go to work. straight home. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to excel or a transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay nowhere man not a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim that production is completely hama's. kakadu to congress on the
9:30 am
models and it builds on the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this was the point and even as i read much. insist on moves and news when we do random human i'm stymied seemed to be based on that understood look to superman in. a one go through that is what i do is call. massive. massive. i'm still working on this what is called loss of all. this of the girls that. most people have.
