According to the report, homelessness among youth in Germany is often 'hidden,' manifesting as couch-surfing rather than traditional street living, which complicates support.
The report indicates a troubling trend where under-25 women constitute a larger proportion of homelessness compared to older ages, linked to quicker independence and vulnerability.
'Young women and girls tend to become independent earlier but also seek help more quickly,' highlighting the role of violence and abuse in this demographic's challenges.
Experts caution that young people often find unsafe living conditions by couch-surfing, especially for girls who may engage in coercive relationships for shelter.
