Food insecurity: A critical case study of women in Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

食物银行正迅速成为英国社会保障体系的支柱。本研究借鉴女权主义民族志理论，采用个案研究的方法，对泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔沃克的女性经历进行扩展，即从该地区的一家食品库获取女性的经历。对英国粮食不安全的研究发现，妇女经历粮食不安全的风险更高，尽管对造成这种不平等的经历和驱动因素的探讨要少得多。这项研究直接与有粮食无保障经历的妇女接触，寻求她们对造成这一情况的生活经历和个人环境的看法，以及她们参与提供服务的情况。通过同时观察食品库的相互作用和寻求食品库服务提供商的专业知识，这项研究采取了全面的方法，加深了对经历粮食不安全的人和英国食品银行的优先事项和需求的理解。

Foodbanks are fast becoming a mainstay in the UK's social security system. Drawing upon feminist ethnographies, this research proposes to expand upon existing debates by using a case study approach focusing on women's experiences in Walker, Newcastle-upon- Tyne, namely from a foodbank in this area. Research into food insecurity in the UK has identified that women are at heightened risk of experiencing food insecurity, although much less explored are the experiences and drivers contributing to this inequity. This research engages directly with women with experiences of food insecurity, seeking their perspectives on their life experiences and personal circumstances that have contributed to this, and their participation in accessing service provision. By simultaneously observing foodbank interactions and seeking expertise from foodbank service providers, this research takes a holistic approach, developing a deeper understanding of the priorities and needs of both people experiencing food insecurity, and foodbanks in the UK.
