To model the relationship of unstable housing and evictions with physical and sexual violence perpetrated against women sex workers in intimate and workplace settings. We used bivariate and multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to model the association of unstable housing exposure and evictions with intimate partner violence (IPV) and workplace violence among a community-based longitudinal cohort of cisgender and transgender women sex workers in Vancouver, Canada, from 2010 through 2019. Of 946 women, 85.9% experienced unstable housing, 11.1% eviction, 26.2% IPV, and 31.8% workplace violence. In multivariable generalized estimating equation models, recent exposure to unstable housing (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.45, 2.87) and evictions (AOR = 2.45; 95% CI = 0.99, 6.07) were associated with IPV, and exposure to unstable housing was associated with workplace violence (AOR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.06, 2.00). Women sex workers face a high burden of unstable housing and evictions, which are linked to increased odds of intimate partner and workplace violence. Increased access to safe, women-centered, and nondiscriminatory housing is urgently needed. (. 2023;113(4):442-452. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307207).
为了模拟不稳定住房和驱逐与在亲密和工作场所对女性性工作者实施的身体和性暴力之间的关系。我们使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归以及广义估计方程,对加拿大温哥华一个基于社区的跨性别和 transgender 女性性工作者纵向队列进行建模,研究 2010 年至 2019 年期间不稳定住房暴露和驱逐与亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和工作场所暴力之间的关联。在 946 名女性中,85.9%经历过不稳定住房,11.1%被驱逐,26.2%经历过 IPV,31.8%经历过工作场所暴力。在多变量广义估计方程模型中,最近暴露于不稳定住房(调整后的优势比 [AOR] = 2.04;95%置信区间 [CI] = 1.45, 2.87)和驱逐(AOR = 2.45;95% CI = 0.99, 6.07)与 IPV 相关,暴露于不稳定住房与工作场所暴力相关(AOR = 1.46;95% CI = 1.06, 2.00)。女性性工作者面临着不稳定住房和驱逐的高负担,这与亲密伴侣和工作场所暴力的几率增加有关。迫切需要增加获得安全、以妇女为中心、非歧视性住房的机会。
