245 _aFrom 'Home' to 'State after care home': Experiences of violence, homelessness and rehabilitation

520 _aStatistically speaking, there has been a sturdy increase in the number of homeless girls and women in India. This article investigates the issue of in-house violence and homelessness among young girls and women in India. Also, it aims to map their transition from their Home to the State After Care Homes, and present the forms of distress they undergo within these institutions. To examine this, an ethnographic study of a State After Care Home for homeless women was performed. The study focuses on the lived experiences of homelessness and rehabilitation of the women within these homes. On the whole, the paper points that ‘Care’ as a ‘Right’ has been a continually undermined and undervalued feature of women’s life as a result of which they experience multifarious forms of violence inside and outside their homes. As the number of homeless population and requirement of shelter homes are increasing, these formal institutions and public arrangements must respond to the changing values and attitudes in the larger society- Reproduced
