This article aims to analyze the political participation practices of women living in Villa 21-24 after a femicide occurred in 2015. From a socioanthropological approach, it problematizes the complex fabric of power relations, resistance and negotiations in daily life. Likewise, a personal experience lived as a political activist is reconstructed as anthropological data and, within the framework of a larger research, the voices of women residing in that territory are gathered through in-depth interviews.
We observe that, after the femicide and challenged by feminist discourses, the political participation practices of the women of Villa 21-24 redefine other forms of daily resistance in and from precariousness. The fact of being female neighbors configures a shared political identity organized around the diverse problems that affect them, and also in relation to the State.
