Introduction: In 2013, the Ellas Hacen Program was created, targeting women in situations of socio-economic vulnerability and/or victims of gender-based violence. In 2018, it was unified with other policies in the Hacemos Futuro Program. Main objective: The objective of this article is to present the evolution of social policy Ellas Hacen, from its creation in 2013 until its unification in the Hacemos Futuro in 2018. In this way, through the journey through two different governmental initiatives (Cristina Fernández - Mauricio Macri), we problematize the way in which it is defined as a measure with a purported gender focus, while in the design and practice of this, problems related to it are omitted. Methodology: To fulfill the stated purpose, we integrate the view of gender studies into public policies. The reflections that constitute this article derive from a theoretical-critical analysis of the program mentioned. Results: The arrival of Cambiemos as a new political administration after three Kirchner's presidential mandates, is constituted not only as a new stage, but as a paradigm shift in terms of public policies with special impact on women. With the transition from Ellas Hacen to Hacemos Futuro, we see a return to visions that include the impoverishment of women as individuals, and their solution is linked to focalization and meritocracy. The referrals in terms of the design, management and implementation of these programs had negative implications for women. Conclusion: With this article we realized how the State omits and infers the particularities of this population group -women- in this type of measures, a factor that leads to further deepening gender inequities.

Globally, Fairtrade practices its ethic of trade justice and governs its multiple stakeholders through a universalising set of regulations. However, this essentialises what are, in reality, disparate, dynamic and contextual experiences. Engaging with Argentinean wine and wine grape producers, alongside European regulators, highlights the inherent tensions to this system with Fairtrade's global efforts being experienced as injustices at the producer level. This paper argues that overcoming the disconnect between 'justice-as-universal' and 'care-as-particular' is essential; combining these ethics will make Fairtrade's governance more responsive to the place-based realities of how it is actually experienced and lived. The institutionalisation of Fairtrade has precluded alternative ideas of thinking or doing trade justice and so more inclusive dialogues are needed to ensure all stakeholders can participate. Fairtrade needs to bridge its scales of operation through a decentralised governance structure to allow for fluid and direct discussions and actions over its rhetoric, practices and impacts. This is an important step towards actualising everyday care-full trade justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, care-related social studies have been growing strongly. Focusing on this process, it seems relevant to suggest that care involves broader processes, which allows us to think not only about its relationship to child-rearing, but also to the environment and the rest of the beings that live in it. Based on two ethnographic research projects carried out with Mapuche (Neuquén) and Ava-Guaraní (Salta) rural communities in Argentina, we will analyze the ways in which the forms of care are related to disputes over indigenous territories and access to natural resources. Boys and girls actively participate in household care tasks, as well as having wide margins of autonomy in rural territories. Thus, on the one hand, our observations on indigenous child care allow us to discuss childhood and family definitions that underlie child care hegemonic perspectives. On the other hand, ethnographic research on family strategies for organizing child care in these contexts shows their relationship to unequal land distribution, working conditions and gender inequalities. Finally, this article discusses the ways in which child care is linked to the territorial situation of indigenous people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Women and transgender people who practice prostitution as constituent violated and socially stigmatized group, not only because they belong to the female gender but also by an activity such as prostitution so stigmatized by society as a whole including men who consumed. In that sense, this paper attempts to analyze the social factors that affect the health of women and trans people in prostitution; also examine the influence of gender on the health of them. To fulfill these, it is used as a tool for data collection of life stories. It should be noted that it is progress achieved so far as a result of a broader process of qualitative research. Women and trans people in prostitution are exposed to working conditions and health unfavorable. Among them we can mention: the commodification of the body, the violence may suffer because of transit late at night in downtown areas as peripheral, the limited possibilities of negotiating condom use since the prostituyentes offer higher pay in exchange for not using it. As if this were not enough, attendance at health centers becomes difficult because of the hours of operation (in their moments of rest) and the discrimination they are exposed.

The article proposes understanding women caregivers from community-based organizations, their strategies (for capitalization of experience and professionalization and training) and their expectations about their caregiving work in an empirical study based on in-depth interviews. The intention is to problematize some explanations that circulate regarding the participation of women in the community environment based on 'altruism'. The results that are presented are based on a larger study that covers the modality under which community organizations provide caregiving services to broad sectors of the population.

This article refers to the process in which health self-perception in rural women of La Pampa province west is shaped. It describes the part of subjectivity that involves the meaning and sense systems. They take part in the construction of concept where over determinations such as context, genre, ethnicity and social class interweave. The relationships between gender and health considering two dimensions are described: the power relationships that are expressed between men/women and women/health effectors (considering its sex) and the asymmetrical rank in both pairs. Additionally, some analytical dimensions are proposed: the different ways in making the concept of "caring" are pointed out, considerations about the instruction "don't get sick" and it finishes analyzing the impact of patient/health effectors association.
