Sumario:In this article I will focus on the relationship between social work as an academic discipline and feminism, taking into account my experience in teaching, research and extension activities at the School of Social Work at UNER. This experience has allowed me to witness constant efforts to construct the struggle along with women’s movements and feminist groups at the local, regional and national levels. The contributions made by gender theories have been crucial to help conceptualize men and women’s everyday lives, collective and participatory actions, democratization processes in politics and within families, and the revision of public policies, which is the main sphere of activity for social workers. I intend to elucidate the day-to-day challenges and significance the visualization of gender theories have as fundamental categories in professional training processes as well as in the democratization processes within all sorts of institutions: families, schools, universities and public institutions.
