In 2021, the Carolina Foundation and UNRISD launched a project of multiple voices focused on reflecting in a situated and critical way on some of the most pressing challenges in the Latin American region in relation to gender justice. After the COVID-19 pandemic, two questions triggered the research: how to promote women’s economic autonomy in a context of social and climate crisis, and how to recognize and redistribute care work historically taken on by women? To this end, academics, social activists and specialists from international agencies and civil society organizations, with different personal backgrounds and political experiences, were invited to reflect on two core issues: care and women’s economic autonomy and sustainability.
