Abstract

This paper focuses on women's possibilities for agency in an excluded neighbourhood of the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In this urban location, while women's social and economic insecurity become part of public concerns and civil society demands for state action, other forms of women's physical vulnerability are sidelined from state institutions and cannot be voiced as social concerns. This paper tackles this paradox and analyses women's public and hidden narratives of participation, and identifies the social processes and institutional mechanisms by which certain needs of women are sidelined from the public sphere.
