Northern Ireland has lagged behind Great Britain in developing a dedicated strategy to address violence against women and girls. However, in 2021, The Executive Office recognised the urgent need for a strategic approach and initiated a programme of research. Following a public consultation process, a draft Strategic Framework and Action Plan was developed, culminating in the launch of an inaugural strategy and initial two-year delivery plan in 2024. These strategic initiatives have brought to light the critical intersection between violence against women and other forms of social exclusion, including homelessness. The relationship between violence and homelessness is especially pronounced for women, where one often serves as both cause and consequence of the other. Despite increasing recognition of this connection, there is limited evidence on the specific nature and impact of these intersecting issues in Northern Ireland, especially when factors such as geographic location and social disadvantage are taken into account. This research sought to address gaps in existing knowledge regarding the precise nature and impacts of these intersecting experiences, with an emphasis on understanding women’s experiences, identifying best practice, and informing policy.
