Redes que nos sostienen: : Comunidades de cuidados entre mujeres

Abstract

Care communities constitute alternatives that make life and survival possible for the women who make them up, and for their affective groups. The specificities marked by their social class, economic income and place of belonging, among others, reproduce an important heterogeneity in their dynamics of operation and scope. This article analyzes two specific communities that provide us with elements to understand the different motives that drive their creation, the life alternatives they offer, their possibilities and limitations in the face of precariousness and daily violence.
