| Achoimre: | This research was conducted in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and addresses the mobility of care, an issue that directly involves the female gender and its relationship with urban space. The diverse and multiple trips that women make, without being paid, are mostly related to the care of their dependents such as family members, people with chronic degenerative diseases, people with disabilities, the elderly, among others. It discusses how women develop skills and abilities to dedicate time and effort to care for themselves and their dependents, which involves managing personal resources for the benefit of others. This article uses the results of a study conducted in 2019, in which an Origin-Destination Survey (ODS) was applied to a representative sample covering the entire city. Gender-related variables were considered to analyze daily mobility patterns at macro and micro levels. The categories of analysis included: household, sociodemographic characteristics, travel motives, means of transportation, and physical frictions. The results showed that women in this city experience daily hypermobility characterized by a greater number of trips, times, distances, costs, and accompaniment compared to men. In conclusion, the importance of women’s movements in this border region is evident, highlighting the need for more research in this area as well as the development of programs to redesign transportation and policies that guarantee inclusive mobility and a better quality of life, especially for women and vulnerable populations. |
