Women marginalised by mental health, disability or refugee status

受精神疾病、残疾或难民身份影响的妇女是社会上最脆弱和被剥夺公民权的群体。这类妇女可能会经历严重的社会排斥、边缘化和耻辱，这与寻求帮助的减少、尊严和人权的剥夺以及对健康、福祉和生活质量的威胁有关。然而，许多妇女表现出韧性和主动性，这与积极的健康结果有关。这项研究将确定妇女如何谈判耻辱和潜在的边缘化，为卫生政策提供信息，并针对弱势妇女的干预措施，产生对妇女污名化身的迫切需要的洞察，以及用于应对、谈判和抵制其污名身份的战略。

Women impacted by mental illness, disability or refugee status are among society’s most vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. Such women can experience significant social exclusion, marginalisation and stigma, associated with reduced help seeking, deprivation of dignity and human rights, and threats to health, well-being and quality of life. However, many women demonstrate resilience and agency, associated with positive health outcomes. This research will identify how women negotiate stigma and potential marginalisation, to inform health policy, and target interventions for vulnerable women, generating much-needed insight on women’s embodiment of stigma, and strategies used to cope with, negotiate and resist their stigmatised identities.
