Family Violence and Homelessness: An Aboriginal Woman's Perspective
Description:
The author has used gender-neutral terminology. In a visceral sense, it is ‘known’ within Aboriginal communities and organizations that, as in non-Aboriginal communities, men, women, youth, and children all suffer from homelessness; but that, while men’s homelessness may relate to family violence experienced during childhood, the homelessness experienced by women, children, and youth is more directly and immediately a consequence of fleeing violence.
