Slovak Mothers Losing Children as Housing Crisis and Poverty Intensify

A growing number of Slovak mothers are losing custody of their children due to a deepening housing crisis and increasing poverty among single mothers. Women facing homelessness, domestic violence, and lacking family support networks are being caught in a systemic trap that ultimately results in the loss of their children. The crisis particularly affects single mothers who lack adequate social safety nets, highlighting failures in Slovakia's child protection and social welfare systems. The problem reflects broader issues of women's poverty and insufficient housing policy, with mothers often unable to provide stable accommodation required by child welfare authorities.
