GESSER, Marivete; ZIRBEL, Ilze  and  LUIZ, Karla Garcia. Care for disabled people with complex dependency: a matter of justice. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.2, e86995.  Epub June 01, 2022. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2022v30n286995.

The purpose of this text is to problematize care for disabled people who experience complex dependence and to defend care as a matter of justice. To do so, we establish a dialogue between disability studies and a political-feminist ethics of care. In the first section we approach the theme of care from a political-feminist perspective. We then discuss how ableism and familism, in line with neoliberal policies, obstruct access to care, which is accentuated during health emergencies such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Finally, based on the understanding that care provided by the state is a matter of justice for people with disabilities, we present some ethical-political principles that help qualify the debate on this subject and foster the construction of emancipatory social policies.

Keywords : Care; Disabled People; Complex Dependency; Ableism; Justice.
