Intersectional stigma fuels inequities among transgender women of color, which have been exacerbated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study evaluated a community-led emergency assistance program for transgender women of color.
We conducted a pilot program evaluation (=8).
Retention was 87.5% over the follow-up. Funds were primarily used for bills, food, and housing. Requesting and receiving funds was described as "somewhat to extremely easy." Participants identified the need for economic empowerment components in future programming, specifically gender affirmation, skill-building for education and employment, and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Findings highlight the need to invest in community-led strategies to address inequities experienced by transgender women of color.
交叉污名加剧了有色人种跨性别女性之间的不平等,而2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)使这种不平等进一步恶化。本研究评估了一项由社区主导的针对有色人种跨性别女性的紧急援助计划。
我们进行了一项试点项目评估(=8)。
随访期间的留存率为87.5%。资金主要用于支付账单、购买食品和住房。申请和获得资金被描述为“有点容易到极其容易”。参与者指出,未来的项目规划需要纳入经济赋权内容,特别是性别肯定、教育和就业技能培养以及创业机会。
研究结果凸显了投资于由社区主导的战略以解决有色人种跨性别女性所经历的不平等问题的必要性。
