請(qǐng)看《中國日?qǐng)?bào)》的報(bào)道:
China has around 580,000 "de facto orphans" and they are in urgent need of the country's assistance, China Youth Daily reported on Monday.
據(jù)《中國青年報(bào)》周一報(bào)道,中國約有58萬“事實(shí)孤兒”,他們急需國家救助。
“事實(shí)孤兒”,即“事實(shí)無人撫養(yǎng)兒童”(de facto unattended children),可以用de facto orphans表示。de facto是一個(gè)拉丁語的表述,意思為“事實(shí)上”或者“執(zhí)行上”,例如de facto relationship(事實(shí)上的關(guān)系,同居關(guān)系)。
2011年9月,民政部在下發(fā)的相關(guān)通知中,首次將“父母沒有雙亡,但家庭沒有能力、或沒有意愿撫育的兒童”(children with one or two parents alive but unwilling or unable to raise them )界定為“事實(shí)孤兒”??梢?,“事實(shí)孤兒”雖非孤兒,卻具備孤兒的核心特質(zhì)。他們沒有父母的經(jīng)濟(jì)支持( lost the economic support of their parents),是邊緣人群(marginalized group)。
因?yàn)槿鄙俑改傅膼郏╨ack of parental love),他們經(jīng)常被同齡人嘲笑( mocked by peers),同時(shí)他們中大部分人并不能享受農(nóng)村醫(yī)療計(jì)劃(rural medical care schemes)。一些社會(huì)團(tuán)體呼吁:“事實(shí)孤兒”急需國家救助( national assistance),以解決他們的困境(address their plight)。同時(shí)他們希望將“事實(shí)兒童”能納入制度性救助體系( bring these children under the nation's assistance program)。
