Abstract
Taking into account the consequences caused by homelessness in women and the recognition of human rights, this article looks at the experiences of homeless women living in shelters in the city of Seville (Spain). It is based on the accounts from the women themselves, thus representing a form of allegory for resistance. These narratives were recorded during a series of workshops, where the women were able to share their feelings and experiences individually and collectively through art. Our aim here is to show how applied theatre can be used as a creative tool to open up spaces which afford homeless women dignity and offer them the chance to show their skills to the rest of society.
