Learning from mothers using juegotecas
The City of Buenos Aires has identified care as critical to the promotion of women’s rights. Localized quantitative data illustrates that care is gendered, and women play a disproportionate role providing unpaid caregiving in the family context. To support the autonomy of women, increased government investment has been made in child care programs. This includes Juegotecas that offer communityfocused, part-time educational enrichment for children between 2 and 13 years of age. CHANGE and the Secretariat for Gender Equality within the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (GCBA) led a research effort to learn directly from mothers about the daily realities of caregiving and the impact that the free child care offered by the Juegotecas has on their lives.
