Sinhogarismo Femenino: Una Aproximación a la Intersección entre Género, Edad y Procesos Migratorios

This article shows the results of applying the feminist perspective in the study of homelessness, focusing on the vital trajectories of women who, in their stage of mature adulthood and/or old age, find themselves in some of the multiple situations typified as homelessness. Through a qualitative methodology that includes the voices of women themselves, research shows the impact of the intersection between the dimensions homelessness, old age and migratory process. The results conclude that, at the intersection between the mentioned dimensions, both gender and migration amplify the situation of discrimination of the homeless. This reveals the need to include the gender perspective in the processes of construction of social policies aimed at overcoming this type of social exclusion, as well as for the design of actions aimed at immigration.
