MARQUES, Ana Lucia Marinho et al. The impact of Covid-19 on marginalized groups: the contribution of Intersectionality as theoretical and political perspective.

The Covid-19 pandemic poses a number of challenges to governments and society. The pandemic has detrimental effects on regions characterized by deep social inequality and the most vulnerable populations, leading to the need for theoretical and methodological frameworks to help understand its impacts and build strategies to address them. This critical essay addresses the interconnection between social markers of the difference in the production of the inequalities that affect marginalized social groups, such as homeless drug users, sex workers, domestic workers and the young LGBTQIA+ community, and analyzes the strengths of the intersectional perspective for the analysis of problems and construction of policies to tackle them.
Keywords : Coronavirus infections; Intersectionality; The homeless; Sex workers; Sexual and gender minorities.
