Abstract

This article presents the results of the research "The Social Organization of Care for Children under Six in the Framework of the Strategy for Integrated Early Childhood Care in Cali", financed by the Universidad del Valle. By means of a qualitative methodology, the educational agents of an early childhood programme recovered their experiences of family life around the relationships of solidarity, gift and reciprocity that are woven between women of different generations to provide care in the family. These relationships have been feeding a feminized moral pattern, which reproduces inequality and inequity, in addition to attributes such as abnegation, kindness and sacrifice that are assigned to women as natural.
