Abstract

Bu makale, Hong Kong’da yaşayan Filipinli ev işi ve bakım çalışanlarının ve kadın işverenlerinannelik deneyimlerini anlamayı amaçlar ve bu deneyimlerin sınıf, etnisite ve göç politikalarıkesişiminde nasıl farklılaştığını tartışır. Bu amaçla feminist duruş noktası epistemolojisindenyararlanılarak niteliksel bir araştırma yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada onsekiz Filipinli işçi ve onsekizkadın işveren ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış ve her iki gruptan beşer kadının katılımıyla dörtodak grup görüşmesi düzenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre Filipinli ev işi ve bakımçalışanlarının ve kadın işverenlerin “iyi anneliği” sınıfsal konumları, etnik kökenleri ve göçdeneyimleri çerçevesinde farklı tanımladıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Filipinli yardımcıların annelikdeneyimlerini çocuklarından ayrı yaşıyor olmaları, Hong Kong’un göç politikaları ve işverenleriylekurdukları ilişkiler dönüştürürken; kadın işverenlerin annelik deneyimlerini ise Hong Kong’dakirekabetçi çocuk yetiştirme pratikleri, eğitime verilen önem ve göçmen yardımcılarından aldıklarıdesteğin şekillendirdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
