Women experiencing homelessness constitute a group with idiosyncratic characteristics and needs that have largely remained invisible. Their discriminatory situation has been studied very little which may limit the design of specific intervention strategies. Buenos Aires (Argentina) is one of the main megalopolises in Latin America, where information on women experiencing homelessness is scarcely available. The main objective of this paper is to analyze different aspects related to intersectional anticipated discrimination perceived by women experiencing homelessness in Buenos Aires (n = 72). A structured interview was used to collect the information. The findings show that the vast majority of women experiencing homelessness in Buenos Aires reported experiencing unfair treatment and anticipated discrimination. In addition, more than two-thirds of the women interviewed indicated that they felt they could be insulted or detained without cause, among other unfair treatment. Among the main reasons attributed by the interviewees to these situations of discrimination were the fact of being homeless, being women (cis or trans), and being poor. The results obtained may be useful to guide the design and implementation of policies, services, and programs for women experiencing homelessness with a gender perspective.
无家可归的女性构成了一个具有独特特征和需求的群体，而这些特征和需求在很大程度上一直不为人所见。对她们遭受歧视的情况研究甚少，这可能会限制具体干预策略的设计。布宜诺斯艾利斯（阿根廷）是拉丁美洲的主要大都市之一，在这里，关于无家可归女性的信息几乎没有。本文的主要目的是分析与布宜诺斯艾利斯72名无家可归女性所感受到的交叉预期歧视相关的不同方面。通过结构化访谈收集信息。研究结果表明，布宜诺斯艾利斯绝大多数无家可归的女性报告称遭受过不公平待遇和预期歧视。此外，超过三分之二的受访女性表示，她们觉得自己可能会无故受到侮辱或拘留，以及遭受其他不公平待遇。受访者将这些歧视情况归因的主要原因包括无家可归、身为女性（顺性别或跨性别）以及贫困。所得结果可能有助于从性别视角指导针对无家可归女性的政策、服务和项目的设计与实施。
