| Sumario: | 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. |
