Abstract：
There is little knowledge about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people who are socially marginalised, including individuals who face barriers when attempting to access services such as social safety nets, the labour market, or housing. There is even less understanding about women living under these circumstances. The aims of this study are therefore to examine the material and mental impacts of COVID-19 among socially marginalised women (compared with socially marginalised men) as well as influencing factors. The study is based on survey data (N = 304) involving people who are clients of social care organisations in thirteen European countries. The sample includes clients: a) living in their homes, b) in facilities, and c) on the street and in temporary accommodations. Results indicate that although material impacts were not significantly different for female and male respondents, socially marginalised women have experienced more severe mental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic than socially marginalised men. Female respondents have been significantly more worried about COVID-19 infection than men, and they report significantly more PTSD-symptoms related to the pandemic. Quantitative results indicate that these differences are related to the fact that the female respondents worry more about health risks (e.g. falling ill). Female respondents also seem to be harder hit mentally by the material impacts of COVID-19. Among the free text survey answers regarding the biggest problem for the respondents after the outbreak of the pandemic, the most prevalent reply (among both men and women) was related to material impacts of the pandemic (39% of the respondents), particularly the loss of work (65%). While women reported deterioration of social relations more often, men mentioned lacking access to services more frequently.
摘要：
关于COVID-19大流行如何影响社会边缘化人群的知识知之甚少，包括在试图获得社会安全网等服务时面临障碍的个人，劳动力市场,或住房。对生活在这种情况下的妇女的了解甚至更少。因此，这项研究的目的是研究COVID-19对社会边缘化女性（与社会边缘化男性相比）的物质和精神影响以及影响因素。该研究基于调查数据（N=304），涉及13个欧洲国家的社会护理组织的客户。样本包括客户：a)住在他们家里，b)在设施中，和c)在街上和临时住所。结果表明，尽管女性和男性受访者的物质影响没有显著差异，与社会边缘化男性相比，社会边缘化女性受到COVID-19大流行的精神影响更严重。女性受访者对COVID-19感染的担忧明显高于男性，他们报告了与大流行相关的更多PTSD症状。定量结果表明，这些差异与女性受访者更担心健康风险（例如生病）有关。女性受访者似乎也更容易受到COVID-19的物质影响。在关于疫情爆发后受访者面临的最大问题的自由文本调查答案中，最普遍的答复(男性和女性)与大流行的物质影响有关(39%的受访者)，特别是工作损失(65%)。虽然妇女更经常报告社会关系恶化，提到缺乏服务的男性更频繁。
