Violence against women & Women’s Homelessness: Making the Connections

Violence against women is the leading cause of women’s homelessness in Canada. Every year, violence and abuse drive over 100,000 women and children out of their homes and into emergency shelters. Many more - often young women - never make it to shelter at all. They live on the streets of our cities, in poverty and exposed daily to sexual harassment and violence.
