Abstract

Among those who work in the informal sector ythere are many people that voted the Cambiemos alliance in 2015 and 2019. What are their reasons, their motivations? The fact that poor people vote candidates offering adjustment programs, solidaristic people vote xenophobic and exclusionary discourses, workers that had better jobs in past years due to redistributionist policies now vote individualistic plans. These is part of a general question in social sciences but grows in relevance in Latin America nowadays with a polarized Bolivia, with part of the poor electorate rejecting Evo Morales, with a black Brazil voting for Bolsonaro. It is also in this region where Chile rises against exclusionary public policies, same than in Ecuador. We are elaborating the question of the perceptions and motivations focusing in poor women. They are being pulled by opposite forces in the region: popular feminist movements and descentralized territorial evangelical churches. What are the political options for them? How do they perceive their societies' problems and its solutions? We focus in class and gender conditions. It is widely accepted that being a woman and being excluded from the formal market, is a double disadvantage. However, in some contexts this condition is being politized by popular feminist movements in an extensive way, which is innovative as a political phenomenon and at the same time, conservative religious forces are doing their job.
