Women Build the Welfare State

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
In this pathbreaking history, Donna J. Guy shows how feminists, social workers, and female philanthropists contributed to the emergence of the Argentine welfare state through their advocacy of child welfare and family-law reform. From the creation of the government-subsidized Society of Beneficence in 1823, women were at the forefront of the child-focused philanthropic and municipal groups that proliferated first to address the impact of urbanization, European immigration, and high infant mortality rates, and later to meet the needs of wayward, abandoned, and delinquent children. Women staffed child-centered organizations that received subsidies from all levels of government. Their interest in children also led them into the battle for female suffrage and the campaign to promote the legal adoption of children. When Juan Perón expanded the welfare system during his presidency (1946–1955), he reorganized private charitable organizations that had, until then, often been led by elite and immigrant women. Drawing on extensive research in Argentine archives, Guy reveals significant continuities in Argentine history, including the rise of a liberal state that subsidized all kinds of women’s and religious groups. State and private welfare efforts became more organized in the 1930s and reached a pinnacle under Juan Perón, when men took over the welfare state and philanthropic and feminist women’s influence on child-welfare activities and policy declined. Comparing the rise of Argentina’s welfare state with the development of others around the world, Guy considers both why women’s child-welfare initiatives have not received more attention in historical accounts and whether the welfare state emerges from the top down or from the bottom up.

Women and COVID-19 in Argentina

Book Description
With COVID-19, governments had to implement different policies to ensure the protecction of the population. Women were one of the most affected groups in Argentina by the policies aimed to combat the virus as the pandemic brought many specific challenges to them. One of these was the "mandatory quarantine" that each one had to carry out at home, with the prohibition of going outside at any point except essential tasks. This situation left all those who suffered gender violence at a higher risk, especially women who were forced to live 24 hours a day with the aggressor. This situation was invisible because the world's focus was only on the COVID, which made getting help an impossible task. We will focus on how Argentina tried to make this situation visible through different campaigns and movements, especially the feminist movement.Additionally, motherhood, from pregnancy to puerperium, has been always a subject of stigmatization and discrimination towards women. This has increased during the pandemic and has left them in a situation of greater vulnerability, as health centers were in a critical situation due to COVID-19 and women continued their gestational process. We will base our analysis on the legal protection of maternity in Argentina and develop the particularities women have faced the most natural process of humanity at the same time that a viral disease occurred that attacked the whole world.On the other hand, the COVID-19 was an example of how women are mainly employed in care jobs and care responsibilities, a situation that put them at more risk of getting infected by the disease because women were in the frontline facing the virus at their workplaces and in public transports. We will explain this reality as a problem based on society's cultural norms relating to gender that assigned women the “caring role”, and we will show how this particular burden unfairly affects them not only because wages are lower or it limits the access to quality employment, but also due to health issues relating to the pandemic.Finally, and regarding the participation of women in the workforce, in 2020 the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) established that companies based in Buenos Aires shall compose their management bodies in an equal number of men and women. This measure generated strong resistance from certain sectors who litigated in courts and obtained two sentences that declared the unconstitutionality of the measure. However, the IGJ ignored such a decision and ratified its validity. In this part, we will analyze such a policy as an affirmative action measure to combat gender inequality and we will contrast it with the experiences of other States in the matter, to identify the opportunities and obstacles in Argentina's case to effectively achieve gender parity.
