Abstract: In Latin America, particularly after the failure and subsequent questioning and delegitimizing of neo-liberal politics that has taken place since the beginnings of the 2000s, the search for new paths is evident, within social movements and political forces. Without disregarding the centrality of orthodox economic politics, a new construction of ideas is emerging in the periphery, not without weaknesses and contradictions. Feminist proposals share much of this questioning and include a gender perspective that cross-cut the analysis of families, social environment and macro policies. The IDeA team share the ongoing dialogue among feminists in the region in the following five contributions that contributing to fertile ground to challenge the hierarchical and unequal gender order.
