About the Book

Imagine a world that is only a few steps away from your own, yet seems to lie in another universe. "THE OTHERS" is not a book about an individual, but a haunting exploration of a hidden society that exists in our midst. Janita-Marja Juvonen, who herself roamed the streets for over 14 years, opens our eyes to the realities of homelessness. And she does so from a perspective that is rarely found in literature on this subject: that of the woman. In a world where homeless women are often less visible, Juvonen brings her experiences and those of her fellow sufferers into the spotlight. This book is a mirror that reflects the distorted prejudices of our society. It debunks the clichés of "it's your own fault" and "too lazy to work" and shows that homelessness can affect anyone, regardless of education or social status. Experience everyday life on the street from this rarely illuminated perspective. Feel the agonising insecurity, the desperate search for a place to sleep and the lack of privacy. Discover solidarity in a world that is often forgotten by society. Juvonen does not avoid any topic. From the role of drug use as a survival strategy to the unseen dangers of pneumonia when you have no place to rest. She talks about menstruation, sexual violence and the Kafkaesque world of bureaucracy, which becomes a labyrinth for the homeless. But "THE OTHERS" is more than a collection of strokes of fate and struggles for survival. It is an urgent appeal for a change of perspective. Juvonen calls on us to treat homeless women with the dignity and respect that every human being deserves. She pleads for innovative solutions. The book also contains practical advice for dealing with homeless people. It aims to break down inhibitions and overcome prejudices. Janita pleads for more understanding, empathy and equality when dealing with people affected by homelessness. Let "DIE ANDEREN" inspire you to overcome your fear of contact and understand the needs of people on the margins of soci
