abstract="BACKGROUND: Violence against women places them in a vulnerable position with regard to homelessness. Although sometimes invisible, women's homelessness is a complex reality shrouded in dramatic biographies that should be sensitively addressed to avoid revictimization. <br><br>METHODS: With the aim of understanding the chaotic discourse of homeless women's experiences of violence, a qualitative single-case study was conducted using the photo-elicitation technique. Data were analyzed in accordance with grounded theory. <br><br>RESULTS: The participant's discourse could be summarized in the following categories: &quot;Living in a spiral of violence&quot;, &quot;Confronting vulnerability and violence&quot;, &quot;Being a strong woman&quot;, &quot;New family networks&quot;, &quot;Re-building mother-child relationships&quot;, and &quot;Nurturing spiritual wellbeing&quot;. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Supporting homelessness women requires an approach that focuses on the prevention of re-victimization and the consequences of violence in terms of physical and mental health. Shelters are spaces of care for recovery and represent referential elements for the re-construction of self.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
