Women's Solidarity Networks Take on Covid 19: the Case of Valparaíso, Chile
Concluded project in the Movements, Policy and the Politics of Inequality theme within the Politics of Inequality research programme
This project connects with two International Inequalities Institute/Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity lines of research: "Global Economies of Care" and "The Politics of Inequality". In the first case, we note how pobladora women’s survival networks in Valparaiso, Chile, are largely sustained through community ideas on "care", while at the same time we consider their grassroots organising to be key in the re-definition of collective care strategies. In the second case, this project contributes to the creation of new, intersectional, feminist knowledge about the inequalities that working-class women in Latin America experience, which we hope will, in turn, enrich the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity research programme.
