家政工人是拉丁美洲受COVID-19影响最严重的群体之一,但他们也一直在以令人印象深刻的创新方式进行抵制和动员。这一条表明,家政工人组织能够适应极其不利的环境,以保护其成员并捍卫其权利。此外,他们的动员提供了一个基于爱和团结的社会的替代愿景,并提供了“重建得更好”的具体方法。事实上,他们的核心运动“关爱那些照顾你的人”要求承认护理工作是真实的工作,并要求公平对待提供这种护理的人。基于对这场运动的分析,我确定了三个抵抗照顾的剧目:促进自我照顾和福祉,通过分发人道主义援助的具体团结实践,以及法律的动员,以承认照顾是一项基本权利。我认为,这些形式的行动有助于女权主义伦理和理论的照顾,并提出了在危机时刻照顾和被照顾的权利是一种抵抗行为。
Domestic workers were one of the most negatively affected groups by COVID‐19 in Latin America, yet they have also been resisting and mobilizing in impressive and innovative ways. This article shows that domestic workers' organizations were able to adapt to an extremely adverse context in order to protect their members and defend their rights. Furthermore, their mobilizations provide an alternative vision of society grounded on love and solidarity and offer concrete ways forward to “build back better.” Indeed, their core campaign, “Care for those who care for you”, demands the recognition of care work as real work and fair treatment for those who provide this care. Based on an analysis of this campaign, I have identified 3 repertoires of care‐resistance: the promotion of self‐care and well‐being, concrete practices of solidarity through the distribution of humanitarian aid, and legal mobilizations for the recognition of care as a fundamental right. I argue that these forms of action contribute to feminist ethics and theories of care and that putting forward the right to care and be cared for in times of crisis is an act of resistance.
