| description | Across the world, in low-income as well as in developed countries, the homeless populations represent some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. Still, it is certainly women who carry the heavy load of cumulative socioeconomic disadvantage throughout their lives, often exacerbated by gender-based patriarchal violence and sociocultural gender role assumptions. In this article, we first review the recent academic literature concerning the damaging gendered stereotypes, misconceptions, and judgmental social attitudes that endure through the eras and tend to continually (re)stigmatize the marginalized residentially excluded women. To overcome these frequent biases, we recommend systematically applying gendered and intersectional perspectives, with a particular emphasis on in-depth analysis of women’s individual life trajectories via qualitative narratives and biographical or ethnographic approaches. Secondly, we examine the structural and individual factors, such as adverse childhood events, stressful life events, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, serious mental illnesses, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which contribute to locking at-risk women in a “cycle of perpetual vulnerability” with few possibilities of reparation or socioeconomic reinsertion. To avoid the multiple types of gender-based violence, including patriarchal recuperation of women’s bodies in strategies of street survival, these women attempt to dissimulate their urban presence to protect themselves from constant sexual, verbal, physical, and emotional aggression. We highlight the need for empowering participative research and policy design that considers trauma as lived and felt through the female (cis and trans) body |
