Abstract

In the early 1970s, Cherish, the first support and advocacy group for unmarried mothers run by unmarried mothers, emerged into the mixed economy of welfare in the Irish Republic. The self-help aspect of the organisation was fundamental to its sociopolitical agenda to remove the stigma associated with unmarried motherhood and the legal status of illegitimacy, to secure welfare payments for this group and to reframe Irish understandings of what constituted a legitimate family. This article explores how Cherish reflected and contributed to a particular moment in Irish gender and welfare history, when notions of responsibility, the role of religion and the state were being redefined. It reveals how the organisation engaged with and reshaped the existing mixed economy of welfare by reframing understandings of expertise, challenging inherent moral biases, and broadening the concept of family.
"我觉得我应该在那里,所有这些人都代表我说话,却没有征求我的意见"
20 世纪 70 年代初,第一个由未婚母亲管理的未婚母亲支持和宣传团体 Cherish 出现在爱尔兰共和国的混合福利经济中。该组织的自助性是其社会政治议程的基础,目的是消除与未婚母亲和非婚生法律地位相关的污名,为这一群体争取福利金,并重新构建爱尔兰人对合法家庭构成要素的理解。本文探讨了珍爱组织如何反映并促进爱尔兰性别和福利史上的一个特殊时刻,即责任概念、宗教和国家的作用正在被重新定义的时刻。文章揭示了该组织如何通过重构对专业知识的理解、挑战固有的道德偏见和拓宽家庭概念来参与和重塑现有的混合福利经济。
