PIZARRO, Tatiana Marisel. The evolution of the Ellas Hacen program as an argentine social policy with a purported gender focus. Reflexiones [online]. 2022, vol.101, n.2, pp.99-121. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v101i2.45158.

Introduction: In 2013, the Ellas Hacen Program was created, targeting women in situations of socio-economic vulnerability and/or victims of gender-based violence. In 2018, it was unified with other policies in the Hacemos Futuro Program.

Main objective: The objective of this article is to present the evolution of social policy Ellas Hacen, from its creation in 2013 until its unification in the Hacemos Futuro in 2018. In this way, through the journey through two different governmental initiatives (Cristina Fernández - Mauricio Macri), we problematize the way in which it is defined as a measure with a purported gender focus, while in the design and practice of this, problems related to it are omitted.

Methodology: To fulfill the stated purpose, we integrate the view of gender studies into public policies. The reflections that constitute this article derive from a theoretical-critical analysis of the program mentioned.

Results: The arrival of Cambiemos as a new political administration after three Kirchner's presidential mandates, is constituted not only as a new stage, but as a paradigm shift in terms of public policies with special impact on women. With the transition from Ellas Hacen to Hacemos Futuro, we see a return to visions that include the impoverishment of women as individuals, and their solution is linked to focalization and meritocracy. The referrals in terms of the design, management and implementation of these programs had negative implications for women.

Conclusion: With this article we realized how the State omits and infers the particularities of this population group -women- in this type of measures, a factor that leads to further deepening gender inequities.
