Abstract The present article follows from a study carried out in the framework of a final work of the Bachelor in Social Communication, of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, National University of Córdoba. It’s objective is to deepen a debate that we consider relevant when addressing the birth and trajectory of the collective «Madres de Ituzaingó Anexo» in the face of the socio-environmental conflict in which they were involved. This debate corresponds to the relationship that we could establish between the experiences of this collective and the perspectives promoted by works and movements of ecological feminism. In this way, we will make an exploratory approach to this case in the light of notions elaborated by the ecofeminist perspective and other theories that will allow us to enrich the debate. This is, taking into account aspects of the construction of a collective identity, social practices framed in a habitat and the experience of women who formed a collective and carried forward a struggle for life, environment and territory.
