A considerable part of the population in the urban peripheries of the Global South suffers from water insecurity, but women experience it differently. Research has shown that, in the face of insufficient quantity and quality, unreliable distribution and unaffordable water prices, they face obstacles to daily activities, which can lead to emotional distress. Surprisingly, this phenomenon has not been explored in Lima, whose water supply is one of the most challenging in Latin America. This project explores the lived experience of the adult mothers of the A.H. Absalón Alarcón Bravo de Rueda in San Juan de Miraflores in Lima, Perú through qualitative data that were collected and analyzed in a field from August to September 2021. The methods of data collection were semi-structured interviews, document review, participatory mapping, walking transects and the method of analysis was the interpretive method. Using the concepts of micro-politics, socioenvironmental intersectionality and time poverty, it shows how women's emotional experience of fear, worry, discomfort and anger in the face of HI occurs in an environment of local power relations, socio-spatial differentiation and loss of life opportunities for themselves and their children. The study shows how the experience with water is deeply traversed by gender and other intersectional axes, unveils the emotional labor of women behind survival in neighborhoods without basic services, and can be useful for the formulation of water policies outside the public network.
