- Abstract
Throughout the history of humanity, crises marked a turning point, a rupture, a break from «normality». The crises force to question and challenge the prevailing reality and urge governments to rethink new strategies to circumvent or at least lessen its effects. In social terms, the current situation, characterized by the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, highlighted one of the main biases of patriarchal society: the permanence of immutable structures within homes. The social division of labor continues to rest on the dichotomy public men / domestic women, accentuating the overload of care work in women at the expense of better opportunities for an autonomous professional and occupational development of men. The exacerbation of this overload of unpaid care work and the lack of public policies with a gender perspective aimed at reversing it confirms once again the validity of the historical denunciation of feminisms about naturalization and gender blindness regarding this structural problem. In this framework, the proposal of this work is to analyze the situation of unpaid care work (TDCNR) in the situation derived from COVID-19. To this end, the aid of qualitative methodology will be used through documentary analysis and secondary statistical sources produced by government agencies.
