the most fragile, most brutalized, & most self-hidden traumatized people in America - homeless women

Mary, Melodie and the Mission district: women brutalized on our sidewalks
She'd slept one night in the Mission District under a bush, and woke in the dark when someone grabbed her ankle. Four men held her down and raped her. Now, almost three months later, she spoke in a flat, detached voice like this was somehow normal, just another blank to be filled in like her cough, or whether she had an allergy, her eyes drifting all around the room. No, she hadn't reported it - the idea seemed somehow foreign to her. No, she hadn't seen them since and, well, as she said, it was dark and she didn't want to turn her face and look at them while it was happening - and she couldn't go back to that area of town ever again, which was a shame since she left her stuff, but it was all probably gone by now anyway. No, she hadn't been examined or seen by anyone afterward. And no, she hadn't had a period since.

But even if you're a woman and end up on the street for other reasons, being abused and/or raped like Mary is likely to become the norm for you. Homeless assaults (both physical and sexual) and deaths are not gender-neutral. No group among those without a home dies faster, or more brutally, than women. Homeless women have higher rates of PTSD (65%) than returning combat veterans. Women die at shockingly high rates - not only losing their usual survival advantage over men, but also going further, to die at even higher rates then their age-equivalent male counterparts. And the group of women dying the most is young women.
---------
Finally, and most heart-breaking of all, the only thing it takes, to significantly lower the rates of sexual and physical abuse against women, is to give a woman a door to lock. Even if that door is in a suboptimal area. That's all it takes.

I hate that TLC show. If you ever notice, it's all a setup. Most of the time the men are holding the suspect and they let her cuff 'em so she looks all badass.

I don't think this clip was set up. Do you think the homeless woman was hired to play this part? I know parts of the show are edited but I don't think was a setup.

Ya know, if a woman is homeless she has to be either completely NUTZ, or one ugly bitch! Doesn't take a whole lot to find some guy willin' to put yer ass up for a piece of the pie!
Just sayin'...............

Yeah that's true. I don't want to highjack this thread but sometimes a blonde female officer will arrest a hardcore gang member and he called her "baby"
She said "I'm not your baby. You will call me Officer". These people have absolutely no moral compass. He looked at her and laughed. Big Ape.

Totally incorrect, politically, but oh so true. We women usually have learned how to use our ASSets at an early age. I bet you a plugged nickel most homeless are DUmmies of one sort or the other.

I disagree. If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. With completely appropriate shopping cart. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rST04LvIMg&feature=related)
