The objective of this text is to critically analyze the question: what is social innovation from a gender perspective?, with emphasis, above all, on the purpose of innovation. The concrete answer to the question would be: it is the one that responds to the challenges and needs of citizens. Today's questions must focus on the why, how, with whom and what of public innovation. Innovation represents an ecosystem of interactions and its mediation and purpose must be none other than the improvement and dignification of the lives of the groups to whom it is addressed. For this reason, the contrast of ideas and foundations is proposed as a methodological narrative that connects actors/actresses and diverse scenarios and invites action. The result? To insist that public innovation is either social or it is not; and it is linked to the gender perspective, or it is neither innovation, nor social, ... nor public.
