Abstract

The present work presents the invisibility that suffer the women in a homeless situation with the aim to show that female homelessness and male homelessness are different phenomenons, with distinct characteristics and, therefore, have to be approached in diferent ways. From interviews and bibliographic enquiry I have reached the conclusion that there is, indeed, a difference between these phenomenons; I have noticed the invisibility that the women in this situation suffer in front of the masculine dominance, taking into account that a homeless person is not only the one that sleeps in the street, but that, according to the cathegory ETHOS (European Typology of Homelessness and Housing Exclusion), there are a lot more persons that form this community. We must highlight that a part of this community consists predominately of women that live under a ceiling but in a situation of exclusion and without a stable and safe home. As it is a phenomenon that is not always self-evident in the streets, since most of the cases are found indoors, it is difficult to gather data and make surveys. This work emphasizes the necessity to make more inquests on the issue and stresses the importance that this phenomenon has in order to be able to understand the topic of home exclusion.
