[Peace] Fwd: WRC Event Announcement: “The Gendered Dynamics of Homelessness”

[Karen Medina]

[The Women's Resources Center and YWCA are hosting a panel discussion
about the gendered dynamics of homelessness (i.e. how does
homelessness impact women, men, and trans or gender non-conforming
people in different or similar ways?). They hope to facilitate a
dynamic discussion of how gender impacts policy, services, and the
lived experiences of those living without property. -karen medina]

MORE INFORMATION:

As part of the Hot Topics Dialogue Series, we're delighted to bring
together activists, organizers, and social service providers to speak
about the gendered dynamics of homelessness in order to ask, does
homelessness affect women, men, and transgender/gender non-conforming
people in different ways? Panelists will discuss their own perceptions
and experiences in working with homeless populations. We seek to build
a difference-positive, warm environment in which to discuss these
issues. Hot Topics Dialogue, is a series hosted by the Women's
Resources Center and the YWCA on campus. Hot Topics seeks to provide a
space for dialogue on gender and other social identities and social
justice--and occurs every 2nd and 4th Mondays 7-9pm. Refreshments will
be provided.
