Abstract

The article reflects on the challenges related to the lives of homeless women. Based on document analysis and literature review, the work begins with reflections on the issue of homelessness, emphasising structural inequalities. Considering the established asymmetries in the relationships of gender, race and class that are expressed in the socio-historical conditions that determine the process of homelessness, we are guided by a decolonial and intersectional framework. Our results indicate that the dimensions of gender, race and class determine both the process of homelessness and the way in which women experience the streets.
