无家可归是美国退伍军人和为退伍军人服务的人面临的最具挑战性的问题之一。虽然无家可归的退伍军人的总数正在下降，但无家可归的女退伍军人的数量却在增加，原因不明。在以前的工作中，我们已经研究了妇女退伍军人无家可归的途径，重点是近端途径，也就是说，妇女如何看待自己在研究时已经无家可归。在本文中，我们深入挖掘无家可归的根源，特别是无家可归的社会制度根源。我们研究了妇女的焦点小组关于进入和经历军队的谈话，特别是关于在服兵役之前和期间经常发生的性暴力和创伤。借鉴人类学的概念，我们概念化创伤在个人层面体现在妇女的生活经历，以及在集体，性别的水平。性别创伤经历会随着时间的推移而积累，形成或加强脆弱的途径。对于女性退伍军人来说，性别和军队都是社会机构，它们可能共同作用，造成女性特有的无家可归的性别社会根源，这可能与退伍军人中无家可归流行率的性别差异有关。
Homelessness is one of the most challenging issues facing U.S. Veterans and those who serve Veterans. While the overall number of homeless Veterans is declining, the number of homeless women Veterans is increasing, with little clarity as to why. In previous work, we have examined pathways to homelessness among women Veterans, with a focus on proximal pathways, that is, how women perceived themselves to have become homeless at the time of the study. In this paper, we dig deeper into the roots of homelessness, specifically into the social institutional roots of homelessness. We examine women's focus group conversations about entering and experiencing the military, particularly with regard to the common occurrence of sexual violence and trauma before and during military service. Drawing on anthropological concepts, we conceptualize trauma at both an individual level as embodied in women's lived experiences, as well as at a collective, gendered level. Gendered traumatic experiences can accumulate over time, creating or reinforcing vulnerable pathways. For women Veterans, gender and the military are both social institutions that may act in combination to create gendered social roots of homelessness that are particular to women, and that may be relevant to the gender difference in prevalence of homelessness among Veterans.
