Summary/Abstract: The article describes research and actions which the author has taken in the shelter for homeless women in Łódź. The main question is how this kind of procedure, which is applied in feministic and action research focused version of anthropology, is justified. This perspective is close to the critical science. The author analyses and describes how the shelter is functioning. She bases her observations on and relates them to Miranda Fricker’s concept of the hermeneutical injustice and other related notions, such as epistemological inequality, cognitive disability and discursive disability. The author discusses her own activities and puts emphasis on an agency, which characterises her research choices.
