City of Melbourne Libraries is partnering with WIRE for this years Homelessness and Loneliness Awareness Week.
Find out more information about Homelessness Week here, https://homelessnessaustralia…. and here for Loneliness Awareness Week https://lonelinessawarenesswee…
This year we focus our attention on Homelessness Action Now.
For this session of Film and Feminist Chats, we are screening, A Road to Home.
Together we shed light on the barriers, myths and stereotypes people face when experiencing homelessness and the different reasons that can lead to someone experiencing homelessness, and ways we can advocate for change.
A Road to Home follows the experiences of six homeless LGBTSBQIA+ (SB for Sistergirls and Brotherboys) young people. For 18months we are invited into the lives of the six youth witnessing how they navigate homelessness in NYC. Their lives typify the experience of the 122,494 people in Australia estimated to be experiencing homelessness in 2021, with LGBTSBQIA+ youth twice more likely to experience homelessness (https://streetsmartaustralia.o…)
