I support Single Homeless Project and Solace's #MakeWomenCount campaign, calling for the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census to be rolled out nationally from 2027

Too often, women experiencing rough sleeping are hidden from official statistics because they are forced to stay out of sight

#MakeWomenCount

Women experiencing rough sleeping are often hidden from official statistics - and therefore the support they need.

I’m supporting @SHPcharity and @SolaceWomensAid’s #MakeWomenCount campaign, calling for the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census to be rolled out nationally from 2027.

The biggest Women’s Rough Sleeping Census yet is underway. ✊

115+ local authorities. Hundreds of organisations. Women being seen, heard and counted across England.

Now we need to make it national.

Because ‘Everyone In’ needs to mean EVERYONE.
#MakeWomenCount

We've been proud to see so many Homeless Link members get involved in the Women's Rough Sleeping Census this week - thanks to everyone who got involved 🙏

That's why we have joined @shpcharity.bsky.social in writing to PM @andyburnham.bsky.social to #MakeWomenCount

Women experiencing rough sleeping have told us where they sleep, why they stay hidden and what needs to change.

This week, more than 115 local authorities are listening.

Now listening must lead to action.

Women sleeping rough are too often missing from the numbers.

Not because they aren’t there. But because women often hide for their safety, in places traditional counts can miss. 😔

This week, we’re changing that with a gender-informed Women's Rough Sleeping Census. 💜

#MakeWomenCount

Tomorrow, the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census begins. 📋

Women experiencing rough sleeping are too often missed because they stay out of sight to stay safe...

If we don’t see women, we can’t support them.

It’s time to #MakeWomenCount. 💛

Not a random list of places. 📍

Real places where women sleep rough to avoid violence, abuse and exploitation. ⚠️

Next week, the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census count begins, using a gender-informed approach to uncover the true scale of women’s rough sleeping.

It’s time to #MakeWomenCount.
