<p>During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and economic crisis impacted most viciously on the vulnerable sectors. Argentina has also had to face this emergency in the frame of a change of government, in which the new centre-left national government took office after the right-wing mandate of Mauricio Macri, which ended with a serious indebtedness to the IMF and a ferocious adjustment on the poorest. In this context, women's organizations have multiplied from various spheres and domains to address their specific demands: violence, unpaid work, political exclusion, etc. But they have also taken on a fundamental role in providing immediate assistance for the emergencies created by the increase in unemployment, poverty and hunger. They organized soup kitchens and other forms of care, and promoted alliances with other social agents (Díaz Lozano, 2020). The notion of popular feminism, which had already pierced several political organizations (unionized or autonomous) has been key to the emergence of these phenomena. Although most of the work on this issue (in our country) focuses on urban settings, here we refer to a case study within a peasant indigenous social movement. This is the National Indigenous Peasant Movement (MNCI), which emerged at the end of the 1990s, as a result of the land conflict triggered by the implementation of the agro-industrial extractive model for the export of genetically modified soya. In recent years, women in this organization have developed a role as political subjects (incorporating feminist slogans), which has been strengthened since the COVID-19 pandemic. Here I analyze the different practices in building their role as providers of sustainable food and socio-ecological alternatives in the face of the neoliberal crisis.</p>
