LLOBET, Valeria. Tensions between women’s rights and child protection. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.3, e65412.  Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n365412.

This article reads the development of child protection from a feminist point of view, seeking to historicize the current debates and struggles in Argentina that utilize children’s rights as privileged instruments for the battle on the control of women’s bodies and sexualities. For this purpose, I analyze the inscription of child protection in three contexts (the emergency of social state in Argentina, the Pan-American debates on child protection, and the global context of children’s rights) and through the prism of two current debates: forced child pregnancy and adoption in same-sex marriages.

Keywords : Children’s Rights; Women’s Demands; Women’s Movements; Family Policy.
