This chapter analyses the practices and representations of social reproduction and the role of solidarity in an indigenous, rural area marked by rapid socioeconomic transformation. Such transformation, driven by multi-activity and multi-residence, increases social reproduction work provided by poor women and which is not absorbed by precarious public services or by proximity mutual aid networks in indigenous communities. The naturalization of women as mothers and their weak recognition as producers and rights holders reproduces this situation. Mixed producers' associations contribute to the recognition of women as workers while women's associations help them building a common identity and voicing their problems, without, however, challenging the naturalization of reproductive work as feminine work. Peasant unions, solidarity economy and feminist organizations entail blocking factors and facilitators of change.
