Sumari:This article presents the results of a research on gender relations in people’s movements conducted in two working class neighbourhoods in Argentina and Brazil by a network of local researchers within the framework of Unesco’s MOST programme. The research shows that women actively participate in the neighbourhood’s organisations to resist, organise services, and undertake activities. While confronted to multiple difficulties, they claim and open new spaces of negotiation and intervention, questioning the power relations between men and women at the domestic and neighbourhood levels. This article discusses how another way of thinking and doing politics in these territories is under construction and how these women engage in feminist practices of social change.
