Migrating irregularly, without access to support, may increase female asylum-seekers' vulnerability to sexual violence. In this study, the authors applied a public health lens to explore the risk for sexual violence experienced by female asylum-seekers en route from Eritrea to Israel. The study team conducted 13 in-depth interviews and 8 focus groups with Eritreans in Israel between April and September of 2013. Participants in the study described their experiences occurring in three segments. The combination of irregular movement through dangerous, difficult and often isolated terrain, dependence on human smugglers, and vulnerability to traffickers led to the systematization and normalization of sexual violence en route. Such factors heighten vulnerability to sexual violence among these Eritrean women asylum-seekers, as well as others who find themselves in similar circumstances.
不定期迁移且得不到支持，可能会增加女性寻求庇护者遭受性暴力的风险。在本研究中，作者运用公共卫生视角，探讨了厄立特里亚女性寻求庇护者在从厄立特里亚前往以色列途中遭受性暴力的风险。研究团队于2013年4月至9月期间，对在以色列的厄立特里亚人进行了13次深度访谈和8次焦点小组访谈。研究参与者描述了她们在三个阶段的经历。穿越危险、艰难且往往孤立的地形的不定期迁移、对人口走私者的依赖以及易受贩运者侵害，导致了途中性暴力的系统化和常态化。这些因素加剧了这些厄立特里亚女性寻求庇护者以及处于类似情况的其他人遭受性暴力的脆弱性。
