Abstract:

The daily lives of homeless people are marked by numerous manifestations of violence, due to the conditions of social, economic and housing vulnerability to which they are subject. The aim was to identify the types of violence suffered by homeless people and analyze their associated factors. This is a cross-sectional quantitative study carried out with 356 homeless people in Belo Horizonte/MG, between August 2021 and March 2022. Poisson regression with robust variance was used for the analysis. Having a partner (PR=1,748) and not having an income (PR=1,441) were associated, respectively, with increases in the prevalence of structural and general violence, while being male (PR=0,547) contributed to a decrease in structural violence. The use of shelters was associated with an increase in interpersonal (PR=1,528), collective (PR=1,487), structural (PR=1,695) and self-inflicted (PR=2,2) violence. These results expose the violence within shelters and demonstrate that inequalities are a determining factor in the process of vulnerability to violence.
