This month the Women and Homelessness project held a joint workshop at Lodz University. The event focused on the pressing need to increase emotional and physical safety for women using homelessness services. Participants shared expertise in supporting the complex needs of homeless women, often rooted in trauma due to adverse childhood experiences and/or gender-based violence (GBV). They shared examples of how services are transforming into psychologically-, trauma-, and gender-informed environments to improve safety for survivors of GBV.
