COVID-19期間性少數面臨暴力議題之探討
Discussion on the issue of violence faced by sexual minorities during COVID-19
摘要
因COVID-19的出現，造成全球多國產生嚴重的衝擊，不論在生命、醫療、政治、社會與經濟等多面，病毒的傳染性強，死亡率不斷攀升，鎖國、封城等防疫政策下，暫時歇工、永久失業，對於收入的銳減，限制外出，面臨生存壓力下使人的情緒變得更加不穩定，長時間在家，人與人負面的互動摩擦增加，COVID-19風險，沒有經證實具有生物或遺傳性的差異，但對於不正確的資訊以及對感染的害怕、隔離產生的焦慮，讓結構性暴力利用此次疫情，作為工具，強化對性少數的汙名化。而本文以Google學術搜尋在2020年及2021年期刊，以性少數為關鍵字，共計26篇，探討疫情下性少數面臨暴力事件之議題，在於社會中結構式暴力、居家令下的家庭暴力、親密伴侶暴力。在疫情前性少數群體一直面臨汙名化和歧視，而現今疫情當下更成為代罪羔羊備受迫害、仇視。最後希望能讓社會大眾對於性少數族群的重視及跳脫陳舊的刻板印象和錯誤資訊，也希望性少數族群應更關注自我需求，清除自我內疚感，而非改變自我以符合社會對二元性別的期望。

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a serious impact on medical, political, social and economic aspects in many countries around the world. The virus is highly contagious and the death rate is increasing. Lockdown and city closure policies leads to temporary work stoppages and permanent unemployment, resulting in a sharp drop in income. Restrictions on going outside and the pressure to survive can make people more emotionally unstable. Long hours at home may also increase the risk of negative interactions with family members. The risk of novel coronavirus pneumonia has not been shown to be biologically or genetically distinct. However, inaccurate information and anxiety about COVID-19 infection and isolation have allowed structural violence to use the outbreak as a tool to reinforce the stigmatization of sexual minorities. In this paper, we use Google Scholar to search for 26 articles in 2020 and 2021 journals by using the keywords of sexual minorities. The issues of violence faced by sexual minorities in the pandemic are explored, including structural violence in society, domestic violence under home rule, and intimate partner violence. Prior to the pandemic, sexual minorities have been facing stigma and discrimination, but now they are being persecuted and hated as scapegoats in the ongoing pandemic. It is hoped that the general public will pay more attention to sexual minorities and break away from stereotypes and misinformation. It is also hoped that sexual minorities should be more concerned with their own needs and remove their guilt rather than changing themselves to fit the gender binary expected by society.
