• • The Invisible Women

    • Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
    •   <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > The Invisible Women OPINION - Written by our very own Board Chair, Jo Cribb. About 50% of Aotearoa's homeless are women, but they are far less likely to be sleeping rougher than men. She is likely to be younger, Māori, have a lower income and be more dependent on benefits than a homeless man. Women with children are also more likely to be homeless than those without. Homeless women are also less likely to be found in temporary accommodation (boarding hostels and alike), but more likely to be found couch surfing between friends/family or sharing overcrowded accommodation with others. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/jo-cribb-the-invisible-women Published Aug 25, 2021Photo by - Lynn Grieveson
