The National Center on Family Homelessness has published a report documenting the results of a six-year study on violence against homeless women in Massachusetts. Key findings include:
- "Violence is pervasive in the lives of homeless women.
- Violence profoundly compromises the physical and emotional well-being of many homeless women.
- Violence and its sequelae often impact women’s ability to be economically self-sufficient."
