Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Persons with disabilities are more likely to have poorer livelihood outcomes, including food insecurity. Inequalities are heightened for young women with disabilities, especially in times of crisis.
UNASSIGNED: To understand the livelihood experience of young South African women with and without disabilities during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a longitudinal study with 72 young women with and without disabilities enrolled in tertiary institutions in eThekwini, South Africa. We undertook a series of in-depth interviews collecting quantitative and qualitative data, prompting participants\' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, including living arrangements, impact on education, access to resources and food security.
UNASSIGNED: Participants reported livelihood changes related to living arrangements, education, income, and social connectedness during the pandemic. Social grants (old-age pension, child support, disability grant) and student stipends were critical financial resources to ensure food security. Participants with disabilities were more likely to experience food insecurities and moderate hunger, with their households having less access to mitigating resources such as land or livestock. Deaf participants also reported social isolation.
UNASSIGNED: The study shows that social protection mechanisms mitigated the financial impact of the lockdown for all recipients but that participants with disabilities still struggled more than others to ensure food security. These additional challenges may be related to pre-existing inequalities, with participants with disabilities and their households having less access to natural resources and financial stability.
UNASSIGNED: This paper focuses on young women with and without disabilities and provides insight into the similarities and differences in their experiences.

摘要：
■残疾人更有可能有较差的生计结果，包括粮食不安全。年轻残疾妇女的不平等现象加剧，尤其是在危机时期。
■了解在冠状病毒大流行（COVID-19）期间，有残疾和无残疾的南非年轻女性的生计经历。
我们对在eThekwini的大专院校就读的72名有残疾和无残疾的年轻女性进行了一项纵向研究，南非。我们进行了一系列深入访谈，收集定量和定性数据，提示参与者在COVID-19大流行期间的经历，包括生活安排,对教育的影响，获取资源和粮食安全。
■参与者报告了与生活安排有关的生计变化，教育,收入,以及大流行期间的社会联系。社会补助金(养老金，儿童支持,残疾补助金）和学生津贴是确保粮食安全的重要财政资源。残疾参与者更有可能经历食物不安全感和适度饥饿，他们的家庭获得土地或牲畜等缓解资源的机会较少。聋人参与者还报告了社会孤立。
该研究表明，社会保护机制减轻了封锁对所有接受者的财务影响，但残疾参与者仍然比其他人更加努力确保粮食安全。这些额外的挑战可能与先前存在的不平等有关，残疾参与者及其家庭获得自然资源和金融稳定的机会较少。
■本文着重于有残疾和无残疾的年轻女性，并提供了对她们经历的异同的见解。
