Abstract

This article presents a case study of how COVID-19 has increased the precarity and risks of labour exploitation for vulnerable populations. Looking at the situation of LGBTQ+ Venezuelan asylum seekers in Brazil during COVID-19, it examines how the challenges they faced were exacerbated during the pandemic and how the Brazilian government’s poor response to COVID-19 and lockdown policies forced LGBTQ+ Venezuelan asylum seekers to take greater risks that exposed them to the virus. Based on 56 surveys with LGBTQ+ Venezuelan asylum seekers in Manaus, Brazil, the article discusses how COVID-19 impacted the livelihoods of LGBTQ+ Venezuelan asylum seekers. Specifically, it demonstrates that transgender and travesti Venezuelan asylum seekers experienced more labour precarity, discrimination, and violence during the pandemic than their cisgender counterparts.

没有人想雇用我们:2019冠状病毒病期间委内瑞拉LGBTQ+寻求庇护者在巴西经历的交叉不稳定

本文介绍了一个案例研究，说明COVID-19如何增加了弱势群体的不稳定性和劳动剥削风险。以2019冠状病毒病期间在巴西的LGBTQ+委内瑞拉寻求庇护者的情况为例，分析了他们在大流行期间面临的挑战是如何加剧的，以及巴西政府对COVID-19的不良反应和封锁政策如何迫使LGBTQ+委内瑞拉寻求庇护者承担更大的风险，使他们暴露于病毒之下。基于对巴西马瑙斯的委内瑞拉LGBTQ+寻求庇护者的56项调查，本文讨论了COVID-19如何影响委内瑞拉LGBTQ+寻求庇护者的生计。具体而言，它表明，在疫情期间，跨性别和来自委内瑞拉的外籍寻求庇护者比顺性别寻求庇护者经历了更多的劳动不稳定、歧视和暴力。

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.
