D'après le Regroupement provincial des maisons d’hébergement et de transition(Québec), le mot «refuge» est très général et peut par conséquent s’appliquer à tout lieu qui permet d’échapper à un danger. Dans le contexte de la violence au foyer, ce terme est synonyme de «maison de transition». Il est à noter aussi qu'il existe deux types de refuge : des maisons familiales avec des chambres à coucher individuelles(«maison d’hébergement») et des «centres d’accueil» où on retrouve des dortoirs. 2, record 1, French, - refuge
