My project highlights all of the struggles that women face in homelessness. From having to deal with periods, sexual harassment, raising children while homeless and much more. Women have to face a lot of adversities and adapt in a different way than most others.

My name is Mikayla, I'm 17 and I am a senior here at Lane. I've always been interested in the topic of homeless women so that is why I wanted to present some of the major effects of it. Seeing first hand experiences of people close to me and just women I see on the street as I walk by on a daily basis has made this subject a soft spot for me. Since I was younger, I've always been involved in food drives, homeless workshops (most including women), and just community projects in general so I believe that this project came naturally to me because its a topic that I'm actually passionate about and in making a difference.
