It is unfair. Why is it just for women?

Just called this centre and was told that the program is offered to low-income family. So there is still no free lunch.

Sorry for XHW. But why not introduce it to your friends who belong to low-income family. And it is said that if you are unemployed now or just having a low-income part-time job and you can show your bank account with low deposits then you can approve yourself as low-income family. You don't have to give them your tax returen notice. So try again.
