This paper explores various abuses Foreign Domestic Helpers (FDHs) or migrant domestic workers (MDW) in Hong Kong suffer and the strategies they take up to cope with this abuse. Data were collected from 215 domestic helpers (135 from the Philippines, 30 from Thailand, 41 from Indonesia, and 9 from Sri Lanka) all of whom had been in residence for at least six months. Selected by snow-balling technique, respondents were interviewed with structured and non-structured questionnaires. Research shows that sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse against MDWs followed by psychological and physical abuses. Female employers are the main perpetuators of psychological abuse while the male employers are culpable for sexual abuses. Coping strategies varied widely among the MDWs. Many of them endure the violence to keep the job; some quit the job and others struggle with the decision to stay or quit.

Prezentowany poniżej tekst ma charakter refleksji nad fenomenem pomocy - zjawiskiem coraz powszechniej występującym w życiu społecznym, choć raczej słabo obecnym w analizach filozoficzno-społecznych. Należy jednak od razu zaznaczyć, że prowadzone tu rozważania mają charakter wstępny, w dużym bowiem stopniu koncentrują się na analizie językowej. Analiza ta oparta jest na założeniu, że w rozumieniu wielu zjawisk pomocne może się okazać badanie pojęć je opisujących, ponieważ właśnie w języku skumulowana jest wiedza człowieka o otaczającej go rzeczywistości, czasami nawet nie w pełni przez niego uświadamiana. W drugiej części artykułu uwagę skoncentrowano na zaskakującej, zarówno w sensie językowym, jak i w przestrzeni działań praktycznych, bliskości pomocy i przemocy. (abstrakt oryginalny)

The paper offers some reflections on assistance - a phenomenon that whose presence in social life is becoming more and more pronounced, although less so socio-philosophical analyses. The considerations presented here are preliminary in nature, and to a considerable extent focus on linguistic analysis.The author's approach is based on the assumption that an understanding of a number of phenomena can be aided by research into the notions that describe it, since it is within language that people accumulate their knowledge of surrounding reality, sometimes without fully realising it. The second part of the article focuses on the surprising closeness between assistance and violence, both in their literal senses and in practice. (original abstract)
