Abstract
El propósito de este artículo es dar a conocer las acciones desplegadas por mujeres comerciantes de artículos de primera necesidad frente a los riesgos de no generar ingresos y sanciones durante la pandemia del Covid-19. Para ello se realizó un trabajo de campo en tres diferentes centros de abasto de la ciudad de La Paz, Bolivia, entre los años 2020 y 2021. Una de las principales implicancias de la pandemia fue la determinación de la cuarentena rígida que suponía la suspensión de diferentes actividades económicas y la restricción del derecho de locomoción, esto amenazaba la subsistencia de diferentes trabajadores que viven al día. Frente a ello, una de las principales conclusiones de este escrito es que la subsistencia de muchas familias habría sido imposible sin la participación y liderazgo combativo de las mujeres para seguir generando sus ingresos económicos a diario.

One of the main implications of the pandemic was the determination of the rigid quarantine that involved the suspension of different economic activities and the restriction of the right to movement, this threatened the subsistence of different workers who live from day to day. Faced with this, one of the main conclusions of this work is that the subsistence of many families would have been impossible without the participation and combative leadership of women to continue generating their economic income on a daily basis.
