Women experiencing homelessness and addiction could not be more vulnerable. Many are coerced and abused, with their trauma compounded by terrible stigma. Silenced by shame, guilt and fear, these women don’t ask for help until they reach crisis point – until it’s too late. The average life expectancy of a homeless woman is 38 years old.
But there is hope. Evidence from Ireland and around the world shows the best way of helping women experiencing homelessness and addiction is in a safe, female-only environment.
Sign our petition today to call for increased funding for homeless and addiction services for women.
