Abstract

Homelessness can often lead to a vicious circle of suffering which gets exaggerated with the question of their identity / or rather the lack of it. This further makes them vulnerable to abuses of many kinds - physical, sexual, and substance abuse is a few of the apparent and visible forms of abuse. The fact that most homeless people are migrants makes it imperative to understand the trends, reasons and outcomes of their decision. The decision which is often based on economic instability, gets further aggravated by the insecurities of living in an “unknown terrorizing city†full of unfamiliar and hostile faces.
