Reply to comment by ultrasuperbro in Shower Bus Provides Access, Dignity And Help For The Homeless by arrogant_ambassador

You'd have to hire security. This is a very risky situation for women to get r*ped.

For example, 92% of a large, racially diverse sample of homeless mothers had experienced severe physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lives (Browne & Bassuk, 1997). Thirteen percent of another sample of homeless women reported having been raped in the past 12 months, and half of these women were raped at least twice (Wenzel, et al., 2000).

Edit: if you're homeless and have even a very small amount of money, get a gym membership and take showers there.

Check out free showers offered in the area first. Many of them are designed to provide a safe showering experience. The modern shower buses are designed for maximum safety, with a single, easy to monitor hallway. If they look sketchy, don't shower there.
