01: Homeland

Before experiencing homelessness, Neen, Mary and Kiara were three ordinary girls growing up in Victoria. In this episode, we'll meet their families, their cultures, hear their passion and pride, and follow their joys and sorrows as they navigate childhood.

We'll also look at some big concepts - the history of housing and housing policy, and the laws, culture and gender roles that disproportionately affect women. We'll explore what makes women's experiences of homelessness different to men's and take a deep dive into Australia's housing crisis, and how we created this crisis in the first place.
