Abstract

This essay contains an introduction and a translation of an account provided in Indonesian by Rully Mallay, a transgender community leader and activist at the Kebaya Foundation, a shelter for people living with HIV in the province of Yogyakarta. It describes the impact of restrictions imposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and mobilization in response to it by those who identify as “waria” between February and September 2020. Waria played a pivotal role in mobilizing a community response in that city, providing support not only to their own community but also to other marginal groups impacted in similar ways. Harsh lockdown measures imposed to respond to COVID-19 disproportionately affected waria, cutting off access to economic and community support. This was particularly acute for the many waria without state-issued identity cards. Nevertheless, Rully expresses her hope that through the skills and adaptability they have demonstrated in their response to the public health emergency, they might achieve recognition and acceptance from Indonesian society.
一个跨性别群体在COVID-19大流行中的经历
这篇文章包含了ruly Mallay用印尼语提供的介绍和翻译,她是Kebaya基金会的跨性别社区领袖和活动家,Kebaya基金会是日惹省一个为艾滋病毒感染者提供的庇护所。报告描述了2020年2月至9月期间为减少COVID-19传播而实施的限制措施以及为应对疫情而动员的“waria”国家的影响。瓦里亚在动员该城市的社区反应方面发挥了关键作用,不仅向他们自己的社区提供支持,而且还向以类似方式受到影响的其他边缘群体提供支持。为应对COVID-19而实施的严厉封锁措施严重影响了waria,切断了获得经济和社区支持的途径。对于许多没有国家颁发的身份证的瓦里亚人来说,情况尤其严重。然而,Rully表示,她希望通过他们在应对突发公共卫生事件中表现出的技能和适应能力,他们可能会得到印尼社会的认可和接受。
