- How and to what extent is homelessness in general, and women´s homelessness in particular constructed as a social problem in South Africa?
- What discourses on homelessness are used at institutional/ service provider level by social work practitioners and managers in the employ of the government and claims-making organization and to what extent does their narrative of homeless people and homelessness possibly implicate ‘The government responses to homelessness in South Africa’, (Naidoo, 2010) as a framework?
