    • Personal Journals

Neen worries about her partner's reaction when they separate, and as Kiara's marriage ends, her feelings of shame and failure begin. Both women feel the effects of a lack of affordable housing and a lifetime of women's economic disadvantage. In the meantime, Mary falls in love with the erratic and abusive Jimmy, and gives birth to her first child.

We look at housing as a human right, Australia's tenancy laws, housing affordability stress and the strategies used to trap women in abusive relationships.
