In Latin America, numerous studies have addressed paid care work in private households, which is predominantly carried out by women and feminized identities without adequate labor protections and for low wages. Beyond these contributions, concrete processes of articulation between feminist struggles and those of domestic workers have been sporadic and contingent. This article examines the ambiguous relationship of feminism with domestic work, drawing on contributions from Black, popular, and decolonial feminisms. It then presents a case study of three experiences of articulation between Latin American domestic workers and the feminist movement in Chile, Honduras, and Spain. Based on an analysis that includes in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document review, the study identifies three key factors for integration: 1) the existence of intermediary organizing spaces (such as committees, observatories, and training centers), 2) the joint construction of medium- and long-term perspectives and agendas among activist groups, and 3) the multiple processes and activities developed around the feminist international strike on March 8. |
