Abstract

In this paper, I examine the challenges faced by sex workers in the New Kuchingoro camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous studies on sex workers’ activities in the camp have underscored their hardships, distress, and deprivation, as well as their general inability to cope with COVID-19. Through my research, I reveal that the government and other agencies failed to support sex workers’ struggle to adequately provide for themselves and their families. I also explore the different strategies they employed in their efforts to survive during this period of hardship, which demonstrated their resilience.

他们是COVID-19的受害者吗?尼日利亚阿布贾境内流离失所者的New Kuchingoro难民营中性工作者的生计和困境

在本文中，我研究了因COVID-19大流行而在新库钦戈罗境内流离失所者营地(IDPs)的性工作者面临的挑战。先前关于性工作者在难民营活动的研究强调了她们的困难、痛苦和剥夺，以及她们普遍无法应对COVID-19。通过我的研究，我发现政府和其他机构未能支持性工作者为自己和家人提供足够的支持。我还探讨了他们在这段艰难时期为生存所采取的不同策略，这些策略显示了他们的韧性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
