Urgent Appeal to Save the Safe Night Space for Women in Perth
The issue
We regret to inform you that the Safe Night Space services closure has been officially confirmed. This poses a critical challenge to the safety of vulnerable women in our community. This urgent situation compels us to call upon the Western Australian Government and the City of Perth to take immediate action. We implore them to provide the essential funding and support needed to ensure the continued operation of the Safe Night Space for Women in Perth.
The Safe Night Space for Women has been a vital refuge for women facing homelessness in Perth. This essential service provides a safe, secure environment, shelter, and access to critical resources for those in need. With the current housing crisis in Perth, the closure of this facility would be devastating for vulnerable women in our community.
It is deeply concerning that, as of September 2023, there were 520 women experiencing homelessness in Perth, either sleeping rough or temporarily sheltered. Furthermore, homeless women are exposed to a higher risk of violence, with a shocking 64 per cent reporting attacks since becoming homeless.
While the closure is imminent, it is not too late to make a difference. We urge you to join our cause, stand with us, and raise your voice in support of this vital service. Together, we can still make an impact and work towards safeguarding the well-being of those who depend on the Safe Night Space.
Please sign this petition and help us send a powerful message that we will not let this essential resource be taken from our community. Together, we can make a change and ensure that vulnerable women in Perth have a safe haven when they need it the most.
Please sign this petition today and share it widely to save the Safe Night Space for Women in Perth.
