Individuals experiencing homelessness—an extreme form of social exclusion—have considerably higher risk of being victims of violence than the general population. We analyze the episodes of violence suffered by 504 individuals experiencing homelessness in Spain, as well as the differences between men and women. The results indicate high levels of violence and suggest that gender (specifically, being a woman) is the primary factor driving exposure to violence among this group. Highlighting the reality of women experiencing homelessness can help social, mental health, and addiction services adjust responses to better address the needs of this group and offer comprehensive care.

经历无家可归（一种极端形式的社会排斥）的个人成为暴力受害者的风险比普通人群高得多。我们分析了西班牙 504 名无家可归者所遭受的暴力事件，以及男女之间的差异。结果表明暴力程度很高，并表明性别（特别是女性）是导致该群体遭受暴力的主要因素。强调女性无家可归的现实可以帮助社会、心理健康和戒毒服务机构调整应对措施，以更好地满足这一群体的需求并提供全面的护理。
