Accepted Paper:

Verónica Moreno
(Universidad Veracruzana)
The experience of various care communities is exposed, organized by women's collectives in Veracruz, Mexico, in order to sustain and reproduce life in a context of extreme violence and precariousness, configuring forms of the political that have care as their axis, justice and healing.
Paper long abstract:
According to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System, only in the year 2021, 1004 women were murdered in Mexico. This is just one piece of the puzzle that configures a scenario in which a necropolitics of terror prevails and is actualized in this territory. Against the grain, collective initiatives have been organized far and wide to configure communities of care, placing the sustaining of life in its multiple dimensions as the axis of their political practice. These communities constitute forms of the political outside the State, and are characterized by their actions in contexts of extreme violence, dispossession and precariousness.
