Women Don't Count: Rough Sleeping's Hidden Secret - Part Two


Listen Later

Journalist Kathy Green sets out the true scale of female rough sleeping with new data from the Women's Census, which lays bare the issue in a new light.

She hears how charities and organisations want greater transparency over the data around rough sleeping, and picks huge holes in the way the government's Autumn Snapshot is counted.

Plus she reveals that female rough sleeping might be 10 times higher than current records suggest.

With contributions from Solace Women's Aid, The Single Homeless Project and Embassy, this episode opens your eyes to the stigma and ignorance around women's rough sleeping.
