Between Activism and Academy: Lobby and Advocacy About Care in Latin America
(Oxford University Press, 2025) Flavia Marco Navarro
Abstract Care-focused activism is new in Latin America. Of course, feminisms have made historical demands about reproductive labor, but these had a secondary place in their agendas. Nevertheless, in the last ten years, specific care-focused stakeholders have appeared. This article analyzes civil-society-born networks that advocate for care policies. The bibliography used is that on feminist movements in the region and their agendas, focusing on their mention of care. The techniques used are documentary collection and interviews with key informants. The analysis covers Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, México, and Uruguay. It follows these networks’ trajectories, identifying their functioning tools and achievements. Based on the findings, it is argued that these networks have a clear academic component which is key in their profiles and their public policies production.
Care Policy Determinants and Effects: Convergences and Divergences Across the Americas
(Oxford University Press, 2025) Cynthia J. Cranford; Flavia Marco Navarro
Abstract This special issue contributes to scholarship on gendered policies by engaging interdisciplinary conversations, intersectional analyses, and global approaches in four ways. First, we analyze care policy determinants alongside care policy outcomes through a feminist political economy framework. Second, we focus on less studied meso-level determinants of social policies: feminist framings and feminist networks that connect global, regional, national, and local levels. Third, we analyze the effects of multisectoral care policies, including childcare and care for aging and disabled people and ranging from institutional care to home-based domestic work. Fourth, we bring new insights from Latin America together with those of North America, and from researchers situated in universities, policy spaces, or both, using multiple methods to analyze convergences in global care policy determinants alongside divergent effects across and within countries.
