description | Since 2020, the world has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, causing significant changes in cities, affecting the daily mobility of people, and exacerbating inequalities, particularly for women. Confinement has deepened gender inequality in different dimensions and contexts, whereby many women, as part of their reproductive roles, have assumed more care and domestic work in various spaces, especially at home and in their neighborhoods. This article analyzes the impact of the pandemic on the daily mobility of women linked to their care work in the San Cristóbal neighborhood of Recoleta in Santiago, Chile. With this aim, online in-depth interviews and exploratory maps were conducted with women who perform care work, comparing their work and daily mobility before and during the pandemic. The results show that since the pandemic began, the gender inequality experienced by women has increased, as reflected in their daily activities, particularly in relation to the increase in domestic work and care work. Likewise, a change is observed in the daily mobility of women who perform care work, as they have focused more on walking and movement within their own neighborhoods to cover basic needs. |

Desde el año 2020 el mundo vive en un contexto de pandemia debido a la covid-19, lo cual ha significado cambios drásticos en las ciudades y en la movilidad cotidiana de las personas y ha agudizado las desigualdades, en particular para las mujeres. El confinamiento profundizó la desigualdad de género en diferentes dimensiones y contextos, pues muchas mujeres han debido asumir, como parte de su rol reproductivo, una carga mayor de labores de cuidado y tareas domésticas en distintos entornos, sobre todo en el hogar y en el barrio. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto de la pandemia en la movilidad cotidiana ligada a las labores de cuidado de mujeres del barrio San Cristóbal en Recoleta, Santiago, Chile. Con este fin se realizaron mapas exploratorios virtuales y entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres que realizan labores de cuidado, comparando dichas labores y la movilidad cotidiana antes y durante la pandemia. Los resultados muestran que desde el confinamiento pandémico se ha acrecentado la desigualdad de género que viven las mujeres, reflejada en sus actividades cotidianas, particularmente en relación con el aumento del trabajo doméstico y las labores de cuidado. Asimismo, se observa un cambio en la movilidad cotidiana de las mujeres cuidadoras, centrada más en la caminata y ubicada en el entorno barrial a fin de cubrir sus necesidades básicas. Desde 2020 o mundo vive num contexto de pandemia devido à COVID-19, o que tem significado mudanças drásticas nas cidades e na mobilidade diária das pessoas, e tem agravado as desigualdades, sobretudo para as mulheres. O confinamento aprofundou a desigualdade de gênero em diferentes dimensões e contextos, uma vez que muitas mulheres tiveram que assumir, como parte de seu papel reprodutivo, uma maior carga de trabalho de cuidado e tarefas domésticas em diferentes ambientes, especialmente em casa e no bairro. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o impacto da pandemia na mobilidade diária vinculada ao atendimento de mulheres no bairro San Cristóbal em Recoleta, Santiago, Chile. Para tanto, foram realizados mapas exploratórios virtuais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres que realizam trabalhos de cuidado, comparando essas tarefas e a mobilidade diária antes e durante a pandemia. Os resultados mostram que desde o confinamento pandêmico, a desigualdade de gênero vivenciada pelas mulheres aumentou, refletindo em suas atividades diárias, principalmente em relação ao aumento do trabalho doméstico e do trabalho de cuidado. Da mesma forma, observa-se uma mudança na mobilidade diária das mulheres cuidadoras, voltadas mais para a caminhada e localizadas no ambiente do bairro para cobrir suas necessidades básicas.
