The concept of interseccionality, a contribution to the discussions on the political participation of immigrants: the case of Paraguayan women in the Greater Buenos Aires Area

Abstract

Through the contributions made by the concept of intersectionality, this paper delves into the issue of the access to rights and the exercise of citizenship of immigrant women in the Greater Buenos Aires Area (primarily in the municipality of Florencio Varela). Within this framework, variables such as class, gender, and ethnicity play a key role in understanding the processes of political participation in which they are involved. In this context, the work on territory focused on migrant women as a political subject. Likewise, on that basis, it was focused on migrant women in their struggle for access to land. To that end, a qualitative methodological approach was carried out. Field work included in-depth interviews as well as participant observation.
