La Halte Femmes, which has been open for three years in the salons of Paris City Hall, is a model structure that has proven itself. Managed by the Samu social, it has been particularly well thought out to accommodate women who have experienced the vast majority of assaults or sexual violence in the street.

The finding is worrying. According to the latest figures from Operation Night of Solidarity, which identifies the homeless, more than 3,000 people find themselves without any accommodation solution in the streets of Paris. It is estimated that two out of five homeless people are women. A figure up from last year. The Samu social explains that on average every day, 117 single women who have contacted 115 de Paris find themselves without an accommodation solution. The previous counts and the lack of accommodation places led to the creation of several reception centers dedicated exclusively to women.
