Living on the Streets in Japan

Homeless Women Break their Silence
Homelessness has been recognized as a serious problem in Japan since the 1990s, but the dominant model of a ""homeless person"" has been that of an unemployed male labourer - a model that has largely excluded women. This study gives the homeless women of Japan a voice at last.
Homelessness has been recognized as a serious problem in Japan since the 1990s, but the dominant model of a "homeless person" has been that of an unemployed male labourer - a model that has largely excluded women, who experience homelessness in different forms. This study gives the homeless women of Japan a voice at last.

Based on extensive fieldwork, the author paints a vivid picture of the unique experiences of homeless women living in a diverse range of environments. By introducing a gender perspective to the analytic framework and challenging the conception of the homeless individual as a rational, autonomous subject, the author invites a critical reconsideration of homeless studies and of public policy.
