本文件考虑的问题，污名化对租户居住在公共住房。它借鉴了一个研究小组的调查结果，该小组的调查是为了探讨活动家和活动家可以利用的机会，以解决耻辱问题，并使人们更积极地理解公共住房及其对改善经济劣势的贡献。专题小组的讨论突出表明，即使在一个赞同消除成见目标的论坛内，也会出现许多概念、战略和实际上的分歧，需要加以解决。本文件通过讨论最近的学术文献和对小组讨论与会者所作贡献的评论，审查了这些挑战。它的结论是，污名化问题需要在更广泛的政治背景下，考虑到政策过程中有争议的方面和强大的利益集团在议程制定中的作用，以及贫困等物质因素。对公共住房租户的污名化最好理解为系统性形式的不平等和不对称权力关系的症状。这些困难也适用于解决这一问题的运动。允许这些权力关系被审问的支持论坛是走向变革的第一步。
This paper considers the problem of stigmatisation towards tenants residing in public housing. It draws on the findings of a research panel investigation set up to explore the opportunities available for activists and campaigners to address stigma and engender a more positive understanding of public housing and its contribution to ameliorating economic disadvantages. The deliberations of the panel highlighted that, even within a forum sympathetic to the goal of addressing stigma, many conceptual, strategic and practical differences arise and need to be worked through. The paper reviews these challenges through a discussion of recent academic literature and a commentary on the contributions made by participants in the panel discussions. It concludes with the argument that the problem of stigma needs to be contextualised in a wider political setting that takes account of the contested aspects of the policy process and the role that powerful interest groupings have in agenda‑setting, alongside material factors such as poverty. The stigmatisation of public housing tenants is best understood as a symptom of systemic forms of inequality and asymmetrical power relationships. These difficulties also apply to campaigns to tackle the problem. Supporting forums that allow these power relationships to be interrogated is the first step towards change.
