Adopting a structural violence approach, this article explores, with survivors and practitioners, how early coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic conditions affected forced migrant sexual and gender-based violence survivors' lives. Introducing a new analytical framework combining violent abandonment, slow violence, and violent uncertainty, we show how interacting forms of structural violence exacerbated by pandemic conditions intensified existing inequalities. Abandonment of survivors by the state increased precarity, making everyday survival more difficult, and intensified prepandemic slow violence, while increased uncertainty heightened survivors' psychological distress. Structural violence experienced during the pandemic can be conceptualized as part of the continuum of violence against forced migrants, which generates gendered harm.
采用结构暴力方法，本文探讨了新冠疫情早期条件如何影响被迫移民的性暴力和性别暴力幸存者的生活，幸存者和实践者都参与了研究。引入一个新的分析框架，结合暴力抛弃、慢性暴力和暴力不确定性，我们展示了相互作用的结构暴力形式如何因疫情条件而加剧，从而加剧了现有不平等。国家对幸存者的抛弃增加了脆弱性，使日常生存更加困难，并加剧了大流行前的慢性暴力，而不确定性的增加则加剧了幸存者的心理困扰。大流行期间经历的结构性暴力可以被概念化为针对被迫移民的暴力连续性的一部分，这会造成性别伤害。
