Intersectionality as a bet for the construction of a professional decolonial project

Abstract

We depart from the understanding that as future Social Workers, we have the essential responsibility of making the analysis of our actions more complex in order to maintain ethical and political coherence with the career plan we support.We depart from the hypothesis that there is a colonial matrix which operates and shapes the social aspect of Our America. This project will seek to retrieve contributions from the intersectional approach and the decolonial decision as concrete contributions for Social Workers in order to rethink their performance. In this way, to the end of this article a description of sexual and (non) reproductive rights will be outlined. This will be done taking into account the primary health care system in order to understand how the State, through its institutions, professionals and public policies can turn into one more of the modern colonial means that disguises the multiple oppressions over our bodies; or by contrast, the State can build new ways of social interventions which retrieve creative means in order to turn into the guarantor of people’s rights.
