Re: The underground railroad, for women.

So, start one.

That is how all the real underground railroads started. Some random nobody decided they'd had enough and started doing stuff on their own, with just their own personal resources. They didn't sit on the internet whinging about it. They made it happen. Also, these things do exist, you just don't hear about them because underground means you not hearing about them.

I'm not sure if you think you're being clever, or just being an asshole. Reread what I wrote and ask yourself what kind of money would be required to provide free shelter, medical care, legal advice and therapy and how one person who isn't a millionaire could do all that. Because the problem isn't that no one is trying or that these things don't exist, the problem is that there aren't enough resources to meet the growing need. No one person can fix that. I donate to local women's shelters when I can, but I don't have the ability to provide as much help as people need. I wish I did. That's what my post was about.

Don't be a dick, nonny.

Perhaps you shouldn't have asked for an "underground railroad," then, because what AYRT described is an underground railroad - a network run by private individuals using their own resources, often outside of the law.

It's very clear that you used that term without understanding what it refers to. AYRT may be a dick, but your ignorance hinders your point.

I think it's rich that you're telling someone not to be a dick when you aren't being realistic nor willing to listen to people's responses.

I think what you seek, there are already networks for. None are perfect but that's because funding and resources are hard to come by.
If you cannot start up your own support network with what you ideally want, go to an existing women's shelter or the like and offer your help. With money and with your time.
Ask around if there is a possibility to consider helping abuse victims with pets (based upon your responses this is something important to you).

Start where there is already a system and see who and where you can create some changes or options you want to see.

I think, start small. You can't do big things in one big move/money dump. Complex situations call for complex solutions. Ain't as easy as simply saying what perfect support networks look like and boom, it happens.
