OUR UPDATES
People experiencing homelessness face violations of a wide range of human rights.
These include the right to an adequate standard of living (including the right to adequate housing), the right to privacy, to education, the right to liberty and security of the person, the right to freedom from discrimination, and many more.
#HumanRightsDay is a day to reflect; but it's also a reminder of how far we still have to go.

Homeless Connect 2019 - that's a wrap! 🎉
✅ Over 1800 guests visited Homeless Connect this year
✅ Street Law Centre assisted over 120 people on the day, primarily in applying for birth certificates and by giving detailed legal advice on a range of legal issues.
Thank you to @VolunteeringWA and to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages for another successful collaboration.
Until next year! 📅
We ❤️ our volunteers!
It's simple - we would not be able to assist as many clients as we do without the generous contribution from our volunteers.
In the last financial year alone they contributed over 2322 hours of their time, and their work was worth more than DOUBLE our operating budget for that year.
From everyone here at Street Law, we say thank you to all of our volunteers, past and present. We couldn't do it without you! 👏

How do you approach talking to your children about homelessness? 💭
Talking about homelessness may lead to them asking further questions about other serious topics, like abuse or addiction.
We shouldn't underestimate how powerful the voices of young children can be, and their response may surprise you 😌
How to Talk to Kids About Homelessness
Monday: Parents and teachers weigh in. Also: President Trump’s unrelenting focus on California, and an ode to marching bands.Today is the International Day to End Violence Against Women. 👭
Domestic and family abuse is one of the key pathways into homelessness in Australia.
What's more, is that violence against women exposes children and young people to similar treatment. 👩👧👧
