TEJIENDO REDES Y SABERES: DIMENSIONES DE UN PROCESO SOCIO-POLÍTICO ORGANIZATIVO

This article recovers elements of the research carried out within the framework of the final work of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work at the National University of Río Cuarto (UNRC), and aims to share the construction and analysis of the dimensions of the socio-political organizational process of the “Colectivo de Trabajadorxs Sexuales AMMAR Río Cuarto”. The articulations and networks that it weaves with other actors, its social demands and its public visibility are explored, from its formation in 2015 to 2022, with special emphasis on key moments such as its creation, the COVID-19 pandemic and its incorporation into the Association of Prostitutes of Argentina (AMMAR). These dimensions were addressed through a qualitative methodology based on the principles of Participatory Action Research (PAR), oriented towards social transformation, with a critical, dialogical and participatory approach. This methodology allowed not only to investigate but also to accompany and co-construct knowledge with sex workers. The research sought to develop popular and scientific knowledge in a dialectical manner, in order to contribute to the Collective's daily praxis, as well as to promote a transformation in both the academic and social spheres.
