TABBUSH, Constanza y CAMINOTTI, Mariana. Gender Equality and Social Movements in Post-neoliberal Argentina: The Organización Barrial Tupac Amaru. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.46, pp.147-171. ISSN 0188-7653.
This article examines the role played by women, and the meanings attributed to gender equality measures in organizations of popular sectors in Argentina, framed within a national context in which social movements modified their links with the state and politics more generally. To address this question, we focus on the study of the social organization Organización Barrial Tupac Amaru because women hold key leadership positions, and because its resources, capacity of mobilization and political advocacy meant it exercised a hegemonic role in the impoverished North West of Argentina. The empirical study focuses on the period 2003-2014. Findings identify three understandings of gender equality measures in popular organizations in Argentina, and that this welfare-organization is concerned with women's empowerment and the recognition of diverse sexual identities, without yet articulating with redistribution demands of care work between genders and with campaigns for women's rights to body autonomy in their proposals of social change.
