Walk in Her Shoes: exhibition and forum - Melbourne
About this Event
Many people associate homelessness with male rough sleepers. But did you know nearly 60% of people coming to Victorian homelessness services last year were women?
Walk in Her Shoes, a powerful exhibition currently touring Victoria, gives you the chance to follow the journeys of three of these women, to understand more about what it's like to navigate homelessness and housing insecurity.
Join us as the exhibition and local forum stops at Town Hall Commons on Monday 31 August (6:30-8:30pm).
What's in store on the night?
- Immersive exhibition – walk through a moving display of stories and portraits that showcase the resilience of women navigating housing insecurity.
- Panel discussion – join a conversation with lived experience advocates, service providers, local MPs, and fellow community members about the challenges being faced locally, and the evidence-backed solutions that can end homelessness for good.
- Get involved – learn about simple ways you can support change at a local level.
You'll hear from:
- Ellen Sandell MP - Member for Melbourne
- Molly O'Shaughnessy - Senior Manager, Specialist Services - VincentCare
- Deborah Di Natale - CEO, Council to Homeless Persons
- And more panellists to be announced!
This event is presented by Council to Homeless Persons, Victoria's independent peak body working to end homelessness.
It is proudly sponsored by the Municipal Association of Victoria and Community Information and Support Victoria, with support from City of Melbourne.
Catering will be provided.
