Den sårbara gemenskapen

Abstract

Nar covid-19-pandemin nadde Sverige mobiliserade kvinnojourerna snabbt eftersom de visste vad en nedstangning av samhallet skulle kunna betyda for kvinnor och barn som lever under hot och med vald i sina hem. Pa kort tid kom myndigheternas rekommendationer om att arbeta hemma, uppratthalla social distans och undvika resor att minska mojligheterna till rorlighet. Detta gjorde det sarskilt svart for kvinnor som levde under hot och kontroll att komma i kontakt med myndigheter och kvinnojourer. Syftet med denna artikel ar att forsta hur relationen mellan samhallet och kvinnor som ar utsatta for hot och vald i hemmet under pandemitider ser ut. Analysen utgar fran en teoretisk modell for "det immunitara livet", for att forsta forhallandet mellan individ och samhalle. Studien bestar av telefonintervjuer som genomfordes varen 2020 med personal vid fem olika kvinnojourer. Ett viktigt resultat i studien ar att misshandlade kvinnor under pandemin riskerar att berovas mojligheterna att skapa viktiga relationer med samhallet, nagot som exempelvis kvinnojourer annars mojliggor.Alternate abstract:When the Covid-19 pandemic reached Sweden, women's shelters mobilized quickly because they knew what a lockdown of public life could mean for women and children who are living with threats and violence in their homes . In a short time, recommendations by the authorities to work at home, maintain social distancing, and avoid travelling resulted in decreased possibilities for mobility . This made it particularly difficult for abused and controlled women to make contacts with the authorities and women's shelters . The purpose of this article is to understand how the relationship between abused women and the community can be understood in times of pande-mic . This is done by applying a theoretical model of "the immunitary life", to understand the relation between the individual and the community . The study consists of telephone interviews conducted in the spring of 2020 with staff at five different women's shelters . A central result in the study is that abused women, during the pandemic, are at risk of being deprived of opportu-nities to create the relationships with the community that women's shelters otherwise enables.
