TORRES QUIROGA, Miguel. Rethinking basic income, mutual aid, and gender during COVID-19 pandemic in México. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.239-253.  Epub Nov 23, 2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

Many of the social deprivations of Mexico will be worsened due to SARS-COV2 pandemic. Namely, the insufficient access to public health, lack of labor rights, and the unsuccessful government's response to eradicate male violence against women. The historical unconcern in promoting a culture rooted in mutual aid and self-care has provoked many citizens are disconnected from their social and health rights. Thus, people's inability to carry through one direction -stay home- is unfulfilled, in part, due to structural inequalities. I affirm that effective liberty could be obtained by approving a Universal Basic Income from a feminist perspective. I conclude that the aftermath of COVID-19, which will define everyday life for a while, require the endorsement of such measure. Likewise, women as a class deserve protection from a feminist critical framework.

Keywords : SARSCOV2; mutual aid; reciprocity; communal care; universal basic income; gender.
