Descripción
Sumario:In 2010, the Mental Health Law No. 26,657 was passed in Argentina in a climate of enormous expectations for the transformation of the field. However, more than 10 years after this law was sanctioned, no progress has been made on its effective implementation, which is causing a process of social delegitimization that today puts it at risk. In this article I propose, from the production of a small archive of images and pain as an affection that shapes the surfaces of our bodies, to politicize the violence suffered by women users of mental health services and reflect on the intersectionality and transversality of the struggles that we have been sustaining from the field of mental health and from feminist movements. And also to manifest the need to claim against the centralization of the attention of mental illnesses in monovalent hospitals, for the opening of substitute devices to the asylum, for the right to live in community.
