▶ The painful journey of pregnant homeless women in the street.
“The 115 for cradle?” With this question, the Abbé-Pierre Foundation warns the public authorities and denounces, in its 21st report devoted to poor housing in France, the situation of many pregnant and precarious women in France.
“We regret the lack of follow-up upstream of the pregnancy and a lack of suitable housing for leaving the maternity ward”, summarizes Manuel Domergue, director of studies at the Abbé-Pierre Foundation.
▶ In France, 40 % of homeless persons (in accommodation, makeshift shelters, hotels, etc.) are women. 5 % are totally homeless, sleeping rough in the street.
