4:27 am
whole time listeners is often seen as a man's issue. what comes to mind is a man sleeping rough on a park bench. you don't tend to think about someone's daughter, mother, grandmother, as new daughter and matches, full 100000 women of, of 50, has been identified as homeless or on the brink of homelessness. these women, not only is it the country they r o o is at the well, or it is a crisis on our doorstep. it's always been a struggle for women to have a quality in australia. although that has been some progress. the fight for quality in a so called lucky country continues to this day, why women
4:28 am
may have race, children, how to reduce earning capacity, carrots, aging, parents, put careers on hold and have little no superannuation. now, as they age and with no prospective getting back into the workforce, they find themselves as part of the crowing and shameful statistics of homelessness . they are often hidden out of sight as mine. when will this hope you're not going to see many women actually sleeping well because they were sleeping, they con, will sleep out the public on women wouldn't even tell their families what they're experiencing. you know, i think everyone would have been so surprised if we said that women in the fifty's is the fast as cohort of people experiencing homelessness in australia,
4:29 am
in the 21st century. no one expected that. and the reasons for it, a complicated superannuation, family violence, pay equity, a whole range of issues that have led to what we're seeing is across this morning. have a good, good, good, good, good. and the photos are already applied, right? yeah. sometimes it looks so bloody big when we say that, yeah, hundreds of thousands of people are either homeless or on the brink carpet. the really static from a conversation with my daughter was at the time when the food industry station grand hole was in. the news hadn't been empty for 10 years and below
4:30 am
a table sleeping rough and said to have many other buildings in know better empty and from that housing illustrate is really involved. the a health shelter has a short term solution. he's not a solution for the housing a long time because it's on a temporary, the one that use buildings that allowing him teeth to house people that really in housing stress the, it was all the office and they were giving back into i'm not going to be on the, to the i'm in here with the google, the property industry. we can refurbish these buildings for short term use with an appropriate not for profit like the why that'd be c i o salvation army and then many others. it is not a title solution. we must build a lot more housing. well,
4:31 am
it's a great spice for you and it's big enough that we can, as you said, get people in training and up skill people if they want to re educate. so then they can get back into the workforce as well as the, the past a certain age experience accounts for nothing. apparently it's all about disposability, bird amount of money. it's consumers in the same way. yeah. i mean, you use it until the next new or younger thing comes along. so you're just saying who are you anymore? i don't even know the me. i always knew or thought i was the, as i just didn't know such places exist as i didn't know about women's housing because that wasn't in my experience. so it wasn't relevant to me. that was the
4:32 am
poor women in awful situation. so i had to leave to mr. bonnet, so poor single moms trying to bring up kids and like bailey carping it was for people like that. it wasn't for me, i was never going to be own benefit. so welfare or disability benefits never going to have never owed a pension show, maybe that of course it deeds you can go from being incredibly successful. have everything in place and then books to little quirks. couple of trips you never expected. you hadn't actually allowed full and they, you, uh, on the doorstep of homelessness. i looked in sidney, please. there's a news as an advertising for many use creative directive. very high powered jobs, very successful, lots of pressure. but i wasn't a medication. bipolar depressive. i was diagnosed bipolar when i was 20
4:33 am
i went to years of taking pretty much every 90 to press on the mock and traveling the mos on that is i caught a something on and t eclipse t drugs i've been and also has things been sleeping 17 hours a day on buddy circle and it's very darwin and davinci that caught up with me when i had the e from hell. i lost my mother, my brother, and my lover, and a 12 month period. i had no money. i had to get back to melvin find some way to leave started work again, got myself in apartment, lost my job, and retail could not get another one. just could not, could no longer afford to be paying $400.00 a week. rent went through supa, went through everything like that just and then you get to the stage where your stage of space a square, conquer food concord back. i couldn't afford to live there and i couldn't afford to move. and i honestly did not know what i was going to do. and somehow this lovely
4:34 am
friend had a friend of hers that she was referring to a place called women's housing. that is the only way i found that women's housing came to my rescues. i found some way to lose. that was a major turning point. i feel secure. they told me i had this apartment as long as i wanted or needed. if per chance, george clooney breaks up with them all. and you know, we finally hook up as it should be. he could move into my apartment with me, but it will still be my apartment in my name the this then is called rosie and i to move out to just saw it on the 9. but
4:35 am
i always got very close to my grandmother and that's the 9 that came to me of cold air rise. the i've been houseless, not homeless since. 2018. and i bought the bossing december 2000 and i think so. um, pretty much all i have lived in who ever since says my head, i don't want to be living in the suburbs. i don't want to be stuck in one place. you know, my dad was a wonder, you know, and my children are they have, but they busy with a lot. so this is my home, and this is my little lots and lots. good. the, well,
4:36 am
i used to think i need to hi needs to be a lady on your house. and then after saving in use of marriage, it was no more. i was a stay at home mom, so i didn't have any money. and i had to for, for child support. i could still remember a moment in time with, i realized what was on my own. how do i do this? yeah, want to just do it. well this is it, this is, this is my life now. and, and i think from then i started to pick up i probably thought to, there's going to be more to last a nice the, it was a real game change. i decided that i didn't want to be station read only thing in the hands. so when for a big trip this past has just been the best thing ever. i guess i haven't found
4:37 am
home apart from us. the, it's a choices you might in some, to, on the, on the unknown prevents those choices. like i used to see why because my super to body spots. so i think you can see she's done a lot of kilometers. you know might be something go wrong with the engine, but i talk to her all the time and she gets the best or the best diesel. she gets service regularly. she gets in utah as you know. so all those things you think will that could possibly walk me out. i don't think it's, you know, so much of it's just here the, as long as i can try and get up on my page, i'll just keep doing the,
4:38 am
as well as state and federal governments. farrah, hundreds of organizations, charities not for profits and individuals working around the country to assist and find accommodations for the growing number of women in housing stress. even if a woman is lucky enough to be given a place to live, it's not a gift. it's not free, she must use a portion of her pension to pay the rent. this type of accommodation may look fancy, but it is often located far from the woman's social network and has little or no connection to the life she once had the on from england i came when i was 16. i mean that period of time since i was being
4:39 am
in australia, i have moved trends to 5 times my house in bryson a remote from a spot. it comes into my head a lot more than i actually realize. i think i must have been walking past the building, so i saw i'm here in newport. i'm not 100 percent happy living here in women's housing. and though i was wonderful, i haven't really size of my head on most of the my comforts i'm it's scary. i actually didn't realize that all the oldest homelessness is happening for women. 55, and neither i know is that i'm not my comforts. i thought
4:40 am
hi. i've got my apartment now. i. i hope that i might ever have to move from there. i don't have the emotional strength to move again. i don't want to. i want to make the most of everything i've got. now the me my mom died in 2019 i then found out from the
4:41 am
city so that in who will she made it quite clear that myself and my brother would have nothing of hers as old. and the house has been moved to neighbors. she was my mom and she really high to this i'm not quite sure why, but she could the a lot of christmas's was on my i just feel that it's a family time and as i don't have family aunts trisha probably not to acknowledge it too much or think too much about it
4:42 am
and probably treat it as another di 0 in $71.00. the most stuff that i think are still working up to the fact that you know, what sometimes last just doesn't turn out how you think it will. the i finished my so don't analyze written a commission play, avoid that entirety. julie looked at it's about 4 people, 2 of them homeless tools, and kind of middle class trapped in issues to find tunnel, doing a pandemic outbreak of books. and i pitched that before kind of it happened
4:43 am
i always thought there's a chance of getting back to sleep. the thing that kept me doing what i was doing more than anything else was hurt. that seems like a better one. if anything, having been homeless has left me a little bit paranoid of something going wrong again to get this kind of paranoid, that is that i could mess up and model. i could go to the game. so i tend to die. so things that i kind of secuity in case of a disaster is live being a constantly, in a way constantly with white and how annoying about ending up homeless the washing that has gotten me out of homelessness and out of poverty started well traveling in this cause i think so i'm calling to say, i don't want to get rid of the positivity this guy has given me that i built up
4:44 am
from nothing to doing i k. starting from experience as well traveling in this old 100 the noise. how the whole gas also known as how the whole gas, the unstoppable but she is now really though i don't. well, she's lost it outside, but he is my okay. the massive housing thing over the last few decades has pushed up house prices and the cost of renting has skyrocketed the universal declaration of human rights states. every one has the right to an adequate standard of living. that includes housing. whether it's a utopian vision or not add,
4:45 am
it's called homelessness is the responsibility of governments. but also as a society, we cannot ignore the situation any longer. there is just not enough affordable housing. there is not enough public housing without governments taking charge. the non government support surfaces a buckling onto the pressure to many people. hi, am i in a ship is a drain out of for each the
4:46 am
oh, so beautiful and there's a sense of safety and there's a sense of, of being of a high, and i want to thank you all for coming to the opening of garden house in the last year, or 2 thirds of the people who were accessing homelessness services were females. and the main reason for accessing those services was a result of family and domestic violence. in the majority of the cases, women need to choose between either staying and, and on site harm, or becoming homeless and low transitional housing like this that doesn't solve homelessness, but it really provides a loss line for those that needed in the moment. the
4:47 am
for the 46 years of my age. i started that. then when i came here, i am sick, 2 of them feed safe and everything is okay. i got married that the age of 21. very sick too. we have one properties and cards and the so when made send all that be how so much. but from the beginning my husband kept me like in the present. he was like cumulative mine a by the middle tables in the house. he was to
4:48 am
a sorry to me, and if he has to push me out of the door, send all that i have to see for a long time and outside the house throughout my life, i was with the family and this is the 1st time i came of the family and living alone, but still i see all of them i, these the days have been so for my family, i see i became independent. they became free from everything. all the bondage is send all the struggles in their life. and together we shared with each other and we supple i'm happy here.
4:49 am
i don't really get lonely as such, but it hasn't been assign a kind of lost a little bit of my passion for it and that i think that creates a little bit of time. so i'm just tired of this for now. just not feeling well can use to. so i don't know if that's what's happening machine with more people on the road or if i'm going back to places, i've already been insane. so i don't think it's that it just doesn't feel as i don't think about it too much, but what i'll do is i'll get all i can imagine that living in the van will have his difficulties. you know, i'll get a step to step up here. this little things like that. um yeah, i honestly don't know. hopefully i would find a quiet place just to just to be of
4:50 am
the i have this tendency to month to size my situation. it kind of motivates me to get up every morning to make my, to, you know, to keep on moving, but this another side or is the part of the society to be live and just isn't happy with the choice i made of me living in a call not leaving the area and i just want to stay here the, my home, my, my friends, the,
