<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>This article analyses the political trajectories of marginalised groups in Argentina, including young women, women with disabilities, Afro-descendant women, Indigenous women, women from the LBTIQ+ community and women from low-income communities. It has a twofold objective: to illuminate the distinct challenges these women face, and to explore the strategies and tools they utilise to navigate the political landscape. The article will delve into both traditional but under-explored barriers – such as infrastructure limitations and the burden of care work – and new challenges, including mental health struggles and digital violence. Furthermore, the article examines the synergies and tensions between these women’s activism in social movements and their engagement in formal politics, as well as their interactions with feminist movements. In doing so, it highlights the transformative potential of these groups for feminist leadership and the democratic system based on their skills and abilities, particularly in a context defined by an ultra-conservative government that criminalises protest. This study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersectional obstacles these women and groups face and the broader implications for social justice and political participation.</p> </body> </html>Pages
