The original article mentions that women have trouble getting government assistance, why? Is it a documentation problem? Is this more of a problem for women than men?

ReplyDeleteThe original article refer to women’s problem that they have be not helpful from government.
ReplyDeleteBecause they have parents and husband just in document but as a matter of fact they alone.
In my opinion, this is not only documentation problem. Government not prepared to women’s problem with various field. So many people as well as women have not received national welfare. Government has to offer various welfares for many people who have trouble.
This article only mention to women’s problem. But also men have many problems. Because they have responsible to family, they easily feel frustrated and they will be homeless. For these people, we have many concern and help to them.
