The women of this community suffer the structural problems that affect the rural indigenous sector, where poverty has increased in terms of spread and intensity. Inaddition, they suffer discrimination from other members of the same community, for example from one of the political civil employees concerning tasks such as the distribution of resources sent by the Neuquino State. The most common discrimination is that the authorities of this small town allocate to the women the most irrelevant tasks, especially if they are female householders. Thus, we found that the women work a greater number of hours because they are forced to fulfil at the same time their domestic, community and economic activities in addition to the raising of their children. In recent years the prevailing drought has caused an increasing loss of cattle, and poor productivity from domestic gardens. For this reason, the families of the community have difficulties during the winter, exacerbated by a lack of fuel for heating, a problem which has been solved neither at community level nor by government policies.
