在全球范围内，各国政府采取措施遏制COVID-19的传播。关于这些措施对城市贫民的影响的资料有限。本研究旨在探讨肯尼亚城市贫困人口在政府COVID-19应对措施背景下的生活经历及其对食物权人权的影响。2021年1月至3月，在内罗毕的两个非正规住区进行了定性研究。分析借鉴了八个焦点小组讨论，八个深入访谈，12个关键线人访谈，两个photovoice会议和三个数字讲故事会议。现象学被用于了解COVID-19期间个人在食物权方面的生活经历。使用NVIVO软件进行主题分析。食物权这一人权受到各种影响。由于采取了社交距离、宵禁和封锁等应对措施，许多人失去了生计，影响了食品的可负担性。粮食供应链中断，导致负担得起的、安全的、充足的和有营养的食物供应有限。因此，据报出现了饥饿和劣质食品消费增加的情况。制定了社会保障措施。然而，这些都是不充分的，而且存在着不规范的情况。一些家庭不得不从垃圾场捡食物，不吃饭，从事性工作，从城市迁移到农村，依靠捐赠的食物生存。从积极的一面来看，一些家庭采取了进步措施，如城市农业和社区粮食共享。一般而言，应对措施本可以对城市贫民的人权更加敏感。政府的COVID-19限制性措施加剧了城市贫困人口在粮食不安全方面已经存在的脆弱性，并侵犯了他们的食物权。今后的应对措施应以尊重食物权和保护边缘化人群免受由此产生的脆弱性的方式执行。
Globally, governments put in place measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. Information on the effects of these measures on the urban poor is limited. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of the urban poor in Kenya in the context of government’s COVID-19 response measures and its impact on the human right to food. A qualitative study was conducted in two informal settlements in Nairobi between January and March 2021. Analysis draws on eight focus group discussions, eight in-depth interviews, 12 key informant interviews, two photovoice sessions and three digital storytelling sessions. Phenomenology was applied to understand an individual’s lived experiences with the human right to food during COVID − 19. Thematic analysis was performed using NVIVO software. The human right to food was affected in various ways. Many people lost their livelihoods, affecting affordability of food, due to response measures such as social distancing, curfew, and lockdown. The food supply chain was disrupted causing limited availability and access to affordable, safe, adequate, and nutritious food. Consequently, hunger and an increased consumption of low-quality food was reported. Social protection measures were instituted. However, these were inadequate and marred by irregularities. Some households resorted to scavenging food from dumpsites, skipping meals, sex-work, urban-rural migration and depending on food donations to survive. On the positive side, some households resorted to progressive measures such as urban farming and food sharing in the community. Generally, the response measures could have been more sensitive to the human rights of the urban poor. The government’s COVID-19 restrictive measures exacerbated the already existing vulnerability of the urban poor to food insecurity and violated their human right to food. Future response measures should be executed in ways that respect the human right to food and protect marginalized people from resultant vulnerabilities.
