dc.description.abstractThe global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on societies worldwide. The implementation of a nationwide lockdown as a measure to control the spread of disease has resulted in economic instability, which has had a significant impact on the livelihood of the general population, particularly vulnerable groups such as transgender women or trans women. The primary objective of this study was to explore the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemicon Malay transgender women within the context of the lockdown measures implemented in Malaysia. This study employed in-depth interviews, using a semi-structured interview protocol, to gather data from a sample of eleven localMalay trans women residing in southern Malaysia. By identifying and describing emergent patterns across data through the search for implicit and explicit themes pertinent to the study's objectives, thematic analysis was utilised. This study identified seven prominent themes: (1) job struggle and loss of income; (2)forced to use saving to survive; (3) food insecurity due to severe financial constraint; (4) impact on accommodation; (5) financial burden to support others; (6) reliance on aid and (7) reluctance in getting financial aid due to presumed stigma and discrimination. This study provides evidence that the implementation of lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic had a significantimpact on the economic well-being of Malay transgender women in Malaysia. Further research is needed to explore the post-pandemic status of individuals, with a special focus on their health and psychosocial well-being.en_US
