description This article explores the practices and forms of organization developed by women living in Villa 21-24 (Buenos Aires City) to improve life in the neighborhood, and reflects on the meanings they themselves attribute to these actions. The work is part of a broader research project and follows a qualitative methodology, grounded in a socio-anthropological approach, an intersectional perspective, and ethnographic tools based on fieldwork carried out between 2015 and 2024. From a situated position that articulates research with activism and social work, the article presents scenes, dialogues, and organizational strategies. Through a historical overview, it shows how, based on shared experiences, these women activate processes of politicization of everyday life that strengthen responses to structural problems. Although these actions are often not recognized as political practices, they are what make life possible in contexts of precarity.

Este artículo indaga en las prácticas y formas de organización que construyen las mujeres que habitan la Villa 21-24 de la CABA para mejorar la vida en el barrio, y reflexiona sobre los sentidos que ellas mismas les atribuyen. El trabajo surge de una investigación más amplia y se inscribe en una metodología cualitativa, nutrida por el enfoque socioantropológico, la perspectiva interseccional y herramientas etnográficas desarrolladas a partir de una presencia en el territorio entre el 2015 y 2024. Desde una posición situada, que articula la investigación con la militancia y el trabajo social, el artículo recupera escenas, diálogos y estrategias organizativas. A través del recorrido histórico, se muestra cómo estas mujeres, a partir de una experiencia común, activan procesos de politización de la vida cotidiana que potencia respuestas a problemáticas estructurales. Aunque muchas veces no se reconocen como prácticas políticas, estas acciones hacen posible la vida en contextos de precariedad.

Por meio de um percurso histórico, mostra-se como essas mulheres, a partir de uma experiência comum, ativam processos de politização da vida cotidiana que fortalecem respostas a problemáticas estruturais. Embora muitas vezes não sejam reconhecidas como práticas políticas, essas ações tornam possível a vida em contextos de precariedade.
