Invisibility is also a form of structural violence. The services were prepared to serve 90% men, which is why we are deeply masculinized both methodologically and structurally: there are no safe spaces for women (not mixed).
During the day 'Poverty and Homelessness in Key Gender', organized by ASSÍS in October 2018, the phenomenon of female homelessness was highlighted, analyzing the data from the study 'Situación, necessidades y procesos de cambio' de las mujeres en situación de sin hogar' and offering a vision of the future in the field of female homelessness.
