在根深蒂固的贫困和无家可归的情况下使用毒品的年轻人中,怀孕往往被视为可以有意义地改变其生活轨迹的事件。然而,青年的愿望和决策并不总是与各种专业人员和系统关于如何最好地干预怀孕和早期育儿的观点一致。在加拿大温哥华,我们对年轻人进行纵向访谈和实地考察,探讨他们的浪漫关系如何有力地塑造了对什么是对什么是错的理解,以及在怀孕和早期育儿期间采取哪些行动,以及这些道德世界如何经常与医疗保健,刑事司法和儿童保护系统的必要性发生冲突。我们展示了年轻人的愿望,决策和道德之间的脱节,以及旨在帮助他们的系统,可以进一步使年轻人陷入失去,失败和伤害的循环。在我们的背景下,这些周期对年轻的土著人来说是强大的种族化。
Among young people who use drugs in the context of entrenched poverty and homelessness, pregnancy is often viewed as an event that can meaningfully change the trajectory of their lives. However, youth’s desires and decision-making do not always align with the perspectives of various professionals and systems regarding how best to intervene during pregnancies and early parenting. Drawing on longitudinal interviews and fieldwork with young people in Vancouver, Canada, we explore how their romantic relationships powerfully shaped understandings of what was right and wrong and which actions to take during pregnancy and early parenting, and how these moral worlds frequently clashed with the imperatives of healthcare, criminal justice, and child protection systems. We demonstrate how a disjuncture between youth’s desires, decision-making and moralities, and the systems that are intended to help them, can further entrench young people in cycles of loss, defeat, and harm. These cycles are powerfully racialized for young Indigenous people in our context.
