Women Don't Count: Rough Sleeping's Hidden Secret - Part One

Female rough sleeping is happening across the UK, but it’s often hidden in plain sight. This episode follows women who’ve lived it — and what they had to become to survive. Over three years, we hear their stories in their own words: abuse, care experiences, addiction, sleeping in tents, bus shelters and even locked public toilets just to feel warm, dry and safe. With shocking statistics on violence and exploitation, the programme shows why “life on the streets” isn’t really life at all — it’s survival, stigma, and trying to find a way back.
