The National Women’s Shelter Network launched a public service campaign with celebrity spokesperson Gloria Estefan during its annual conference. With the simple yet compelling message that “Safe Shelters Save Lives” and respectful imagery and testimonials about the impact of shelters on women who previously experienced homelessness, the videos, print, and social media campaign bring to light the hidden face of homelessness in the U.S.: the millions of women, children, and families.
