This paper examines the views of mothers who have experienced (or are judged to be at risk of) recurrent removal of children into care or adoption. Drawing on their accounts of working with an intensive 18 month support program called Pause, we argue for the relevance of conceptualizing policy and practice with reference to Honneth’s theory of recognition and Fraser’s arguments about the need to address misrecognition through redistribution, attending to gendered political and economic injustice. The analysis draws on qualitative longitudinal interviews with 49 women, conducted as part of a national UK Department for Education (DfE)-funded evaluation of Pause. Each woman was interviewed up to four times over a period of up to 20 months, both during and after the Pause intervention. Case-based longitudinal analysis illuminates how stigma can obscure women’s rights and needs—including welfare entitlements and health, as well as rights to family life—and shows how support can act to enable both redistribution, advocating to ensure women’s rights in a context of diminishing public welfare, and recognition, challenging stigmatization through recognition of women’s motherhood, and of their rights to care, solidarity, respect and fun.

承认与正义？为照顾或领养子女的妇女提供概念性支持

本文研究了经历过（或被认为有可能）将儿童再次送往照料或收养的母亲的观点。利用他们与名为Pause的为期18个月的密集支持计划合作的经验，我们主张参考Honneth的认可理论和Fraser关于需要通过重新分配来解决误认，关注性别政治和社会问题的论点，将政策和实践概念化是相关的经济不公。该分析基于对49位女性的定性纵向访谈，这是英国国家教育部（DfE）资助的暂停评估的一部分。在暂停干预期间和之后，每位女性在长达20个月的时间内接受了多达四次的采访。
