Join us for our Women’s Rough Sleeping Census launch event on 3 July
Solace, in partnership with the Single Homeless Project, Crisis and CGL, will launch our annual Women’s Rough Sleeping Census report, How Do We Sleep at Night?, at an online event on 3 July.
Experts from the charities, as well as Paula Barker MP, will speak about the need for a better way to count women sleeping rough. The report has found that a huge barrier to counting women accurately is the danger they face when sleeping rough, as risks of violence, sexual assault and robbery are higher for women than men.
This is why women are far less likely to sleep on the streets for the night, opting instead to ride public transport, sleep during the day or sit in A&E departments to stay safe. The report poses the question: if the Government and services don’t know these women exist, how can they possibly provide them with the support that they need?
