The objective of this work to make the absences visible and show the richness of the study from feminist lenses to establish a comprehensive research agenda of regional integration in MERCOSUR and that recovers the role of women's and diversities collectives in the construction of the region from of their mobilization, participation, and claim. A study of a selection of cases is carried out to identify the protest movements and participation of women in the construction of the region and to make visible the absence of the available literature. For this, this work is divided into three sections. The first presents a brief state of the art on the incorporation of feminisms in the field of studies of regional integration and regionalism. We incorporate decolonial feminisms as a strategy to address the invisible agenda of women. The second section presents a description of how MERCOSUR has incorporated (or not) gender policies and analyzes two specific cases (that of family farming and that of education). Based on the above, the third section addresses, by way of conclusion, a proposal for the development of a research agenda.
