Abstract:
The article analyzes the suffering from sexual and family violence situations during childhood and adolescence and its impact in the processes of victimization in adult life in women experiencing homelessness in the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina). The study sampled 72 women who were selected using the snowball technique. Information was gathered using structured interviews and statistical analysis. Violence experienced in early age is associated with traumatic events after the age of 18, which may influence the persistence of homelessness. It is essential to establish gender-informed public policies from childhood to mitigate revictimization and prevent social exclusion.
