Following the much publicised break up of the homeless and rough sleeping community outside Flinders Street Station in central Melbourne on February 1st, on this week’s episode of Women on the Line we’ll take a look at proposed amendments to by-laws by Melbourne City Council which would effectively ban homeless people from sleeping in the CBD. 

We’ll hear from Kelly from the Homeless Persons Union Victoria about the #nohomelessban campaign, and Tarni from Justice Connect Homeless Law about the implications of the possible legislative changes, and also what effective homelessness prevention looks like through a discussion of the Women's Homelessness Prevention Project.
