I LOVE this thread!!!
I would start a business that would employ women with barriers (domestic violence, drugs/alcohol, criminal history, etc) Along with employment would be specialized training in work habits, communication, self esteem, etc. Counseling would be required along with treatment if needed.
Conditions of employment would be strict but the goal would be to break the cycle of abuse and addiction that keep women from becoming or staying strong. Once they have "mastered" the program, they would be placed in a local business in their chosen career path.
Continued support would also be provided to make sure life doesn't take them back down.
