Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze how gender inequality affects the healthcare-seeking behavior of mothers with children under five years old who died of preventable causes in Ocotepec, Chiapas, during 2005-2010. A gender social constructionist-relational approach is used to demonstrate that the attention received by children is influenced by the level of agreement and or disagreement among the father, the mother and the extended family becoming more problematic when mothers suffer gender violence.
