Stigma in society

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Now the time comes when the truth needs to be told. In fact, I don’t know how long we should be on hold while the wrong judgment about homelessness continues. “You need to do better,” he exclaimed to me. But being homeless is not a crime to me.

Many people continue having the wrong perception until they do things on bad conception. Some are sick and fall into homelessness. Some are depressed and end up helpless. Some are jailed for years and get out houseless. Some are just good and fine, but become homeless. So why do people continue stigmatizing? Anybody can fall into a hard situation, and be in the worst condition. Let’s let the world know about homelessness. Let’s continue to advocate. Let’s continue to teach and be taught. May this year be a productive one that way, so we can find the right pathway. I know the stigma still exists. Let real people tell the real story. Stigma is leaving, stigma’s against wellbeing.
