It just shouldn’t happen in Australia
Women in their 60’s and 70’s who are homeless. You mightn’t see them – they’re in refuges, their cars, or worse. It’s heartbreaking.
In the next hour, 3,200 Australians will reach out to homelessness services like Mission Australia for help¹.
Women like Marie who have been in relationships where their husband or partner controlled their finances, have worked in low-income jobs, or had earnings and super contributions interrupted when they took time out to raise children.
Your help starts with as little as one dollar. It ends when women like Marie have a safe home.
