Incentive to LEAVE? This just further traps people in DV situations and makes it harder to leave. You don't even need empathy to understand basic cause and effect.

Yep. We've known this shit doesn't work for years, but then we've known locking people in cages doesn't work for years too and we still do that.

I feel like a lot of folks need genuine assistance like access to food, healthcare, education, and just opportunities in general - and people to talk to - but that's coming from someone who doesn't know a whole lot.
