Abstract

The society faces a lot of challenges. One of the most world-wide acute problems is homelessness. It’s a long prevailing problem which has been haunting the human society since Stone Age. There has been notable advancement in every sphere of life and the contributions to it has been flowing from around the world through ages and civilizations. It’s yet pathetic to see people suffering on the roads and streets as a form of social dwelling. Homelessness leads to insecurity for the people and it paves a platform for the worst violence. More specifically against women by way of sexual exploitation, assault to rape and sexual abuse. The mothers of young girls end up staying awake at night, every night to keep guard of their children. There is a lack of security, education and development for the children arise in such homeless environments.
