Abstract:
Based on a participatory action research that began in 2019 in a segregated area of the San Martin district of Greater Buenos Aires, I propose to analyze, on the one hand, the unequal effects of the coronavirus health emergency -and the measures aimed at mitigating them -, in migrant women from an intersectional perspective. On the other hand, I intend to examine the community care strategies deployed by these women, who are mostly the ones who, from their multiple organizations and knowledge, contain the crisis in these popular neighborhoods and cover, creating and strengthening networking, the various shortcomings of the measures adopted from different levels of the State. Both data collected prior to the pandemic and registers of observation and interviews conducted remotely during 2020 will be examined.
