Economía del cuidado y violencia económica contra la mujer

Abstract

This paper was born more than a year ago as an academic exercise that sought to develop, from a documentary analysis, a conceptualization of the term "Economy of Care", a notion that is based on the production and work performed within households, and which is of vital importance in the functioning of societies, and the interrelation that the work performed by women in their families has with one of the types of violence most commonly faced by women and which has been little studied; This is "Economic Violence", which is considered as an action or omission that causes economic harm or suffering to women because of their gender. For the development of this document, certain specific cases were studied that were known by the authors in the course of their professional work as litigators in the area of family law.
