Rethinking homelessness among women using a participative research framework
This article rethinks women’s homelessness from a woman’s point of view. Using a participatory approach that includes a recognition committee, the research was based on the speech and knowledge of itinerant women, a marginal epistemology, theories of recognition, and feminist criticism. Its aim was to move away from individualistic readings and instead emphasize the structural and systemic issues these women experience that make them socially invisible and vulnerable, making it difficult for them to lead more normal lives. Taking this perspective on women’s homelessness makes it possible to construct appropriate responses to homelessness based on human rights.
