Care

Overview

Three trans women work as caregivers in a Public Home for the Elderly in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their gender identity had, until now, confined them to prostitution and precarious jobs. For the older adults they care for, they are the first trans women they interact with. For trans caregivers, this is a first encounter with old age: in Argentina, life expectancy for them does not exceed forty years. At that age, Jenifer, Fabiana and Abigail have their first formal jobs.
