| Sumario: | This article deals with female domestic workers in Bolivia, which are mostly Indigenous, and their struggle for rights during the neoliberal period. It reveals the resistance they encountered in the parliament among politicians and female rights defenders alike, and analyzes the opposition, which was lead by a feminist parliamentary. The article brings up various theoretical debates proposed by post-colonial and anti-racist feminists, which take upon existing issues of class and race underlying the category of “women’s issues” as well as the supposed “sisterhood” that exists between all feminists. The conclusion addresses domestic workers’ rights during the first MAS administration in Bolivia, placing debates surrounding the political marginalization of Indigenous women beyond the neoliberal period.
