Feminist policy on female ageing in the Basque Country: a qualitative perspective

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This article presents what we regard as the primary topics of concern for a feminist policy on ageing (including care and caring), derived from the results of a collaborative study undertaken in the Basque Country. The data were gathered through meetings with eight equality specialists from Women’s Houses in the region and interviews with a total of 42 older women. Our analysis shows that one of the biggest challenges is identifying strategies for articulating these topics, making them more visible and increasing societal awareness. To that end, it is necessary to analyse the intersections between age and gender.
