Abstract
Gran parte del trabajo de cuidado de la salud-enfermedad se desarrolla en los hogares y tiene
las características de ser femenino, no remunerado e inequitativo porque implica desigualdades
de género en el reparto del tiempo, las actividades y las compensaciones. Para aportar a las
discusiones sobre la equidad sanitaria y la equidad de género, este ensayo busca controvertir
los argumentos que definen las asimetrías de poder y posición que subyacen a las diferencias de
roles entre hombres y mujeres sobre los cuales se apoyan muchas políticas y programas sociales
que, basadas en la naturalización de las relaciones patriarcales y la división sexual del trabajo,
contribuyen a mantener o profundizar las inequidades.
