“…Few studies have been done on poverty and homelessness in rural or low-density areas in Canada (examples include MacDonald & Gaulin, 2020; Zufferey & Parkes, 2019), and much remains to be learned about this subject. Because of the many ways that women tend to hide their homelessness, they are still underrepresented in studies on this subject (Milaney et al, 2020; Speedlin et al, 2020), and as yet there is only limited feminist research documenting women's experiences of homelessness and problematizing this reality as the product of interpersonal and structural violence perpetrated against them (Milaney et al, 2020; Speedlin et al, 2020).…”

This study presents findings from a qualitative study conducted in two relatively remote, primarily rural regions of the Canadian province of Quebec whose resource-based economic structures exacerbate inequalities between men and women. The purpose of this study was to understand how violence and homelessness intertwine in women's life courses in such regions. On the basis of past research showing that gender socialization around traditional roles and conservative values is particularly tenacious in non-urban areas, we conducted life-course interviews with 22 women in 13 different towns and villages of these two regions. Our content analysis of these interviews showed that specific social responses have forced women to maintain relationships with their aggressors or with people who have protected them, thus relegating these women's lives to the private sphere while reducing their opportunities for social participation in the public sphere. These social responses, together with women's economic and social disadvantages in these regions, were also the main factors that explain homelessness experienced by the participants in this study. Our analysis of these responses illustrates the patriarchal social structure of power in these regions, which is perpetuated in the interpersonal, institutional, and representational dimensions and keeps women in precarious, subordinate social positions, while ostracizing or punishing women who try to resist.

“…Honneth asserts that, at the level of intimacy of others, the love relation is critical to the development of self-confidence and, if damaged, contributes to a profound sense of aloneness and alienation. An example, in the context of this article, is the extent to which child sexual abuse and domestic violence are cited as significant factors in people becoming homeless (Chung et al, 2000; Parker and Fopp, 2004; Speedlin et al, 2020). Honneth argues that people have a right to be protected against such acts of abuse and notes that the converse is a facilitative environment in which others become a source of value.…”

This article explores the role of homeless voices in constructing knowledge about homelessness and the development of policy and service delivery responses to homeless people. Specifically, the article highlights the suggestive value position for social work encapsulated in Honneth’s concept of recognition as a framework from which to understand and incorporate homeless voices in the construction of knowledge about and policy responses to homelessness. While written with an Australian focus, the argument has implications for social work at an international level.
