An anniversary that seeks to recognize unpaid work in the home, done mostly by women.
He December 1st is commemorated in the Argentine Republic as Housewife’s Day. This type of work, for most of history, was not considered as such, being an unpaid task for those who performed it. But in 1958, the Housewives League established it with the objective of valuing the work done by women in taking care of homes.
The work of housewives was never recognized; according to statistics, they were always inactive people. Therefore, achieving recognition was a reason for historical struggle, mostly among women who were the most affected by the role they had to play in the family and in society.

Housewives League: what it is
The Housewives League is an organization that has been going strong since it was created. So much so, that in 1958, the first members were invited by the Minister of Commerce to join the National Board of Prices and Supplies. That same year, the group participated in the regulations of the Domestic Personnel Law. Also, between 1960 and 1970, he carried out social action and training campaigns, also being part of the Liaison Commission for the United Nations.
In the 1980s, it was present in the fight to denounce hyperinflation, and only in 1983 was the Union of Housewives of the Argentine Republic (Sacra) whose proposals were to achieve a salary, retirement and social work for the sector.
Finally, in 2006, housewives managed to retire thanks to Law 24,828, which corresponds to the “Permanent Moratorium for Self-Employed”, promulgated by the then president, Néstor Carlos Kirchner.
