Desde la Psicología de la Orientación (D. Aisenson, 2007; G. Aisenson et al., 2018; Guichard, 2016), este trabajo indaga cómo mujeres jefas de hogares monomarentales que participan de la Asociación Civil “Monomarentales Argentina” construyen sus proyectos de vida. Se realizaron siete entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres que fueran único sustento económico, sin apoyo paterno en la crianza, residentes en el AMBA, con al menos un hijo menor de seis años y hubieran participado en la Asociación. Los relatos revelan desafíos vinculados a la precariedad económica, la falta de corresponsabilidad y las exigencias laborales, que condicionan fuertemente sus trayectorias. No obstante, a partir de estas experiencias, las mujeres reconocen haber desarrollado recursos subjetivos significativos, en consonancia con las Habilidades Transferibles propuestas por UNICEF LACRO (2022), como la resolución de problemas, toma de decisiones, autoconocimiento, resiliencia, comunicación y empatía. La maternidad emerge como un motor de sentido vital, y los procesos terapéuticos fortalecen la identidad. Las redes de apoyo femeninas y comunitarias resultan fundamentales para afrontar las carencias estructurales. Así, estas mujeres reconfiguran vínculos y despliegan estrategias que desafían los modelos familiares tradicionales, promoviendo mayor autonomía y empoderamiento.

Aisenson, 2007; G. Aisenson et al., 2018; Guichard, 2016), this study explores how single mothers who are heads of household and participate in the civil association “Monomarentales Argentina” construct their life projects. Seven in-depth interviews were conducted with women who were the sole economic providers, had no paternal support in childrearing, lived in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), had at least one child under the age of six, and had taken part in the association. Their narratives reveal challenges related to economic precariousness, lack of co-responsibility, and demanding work conditions, all of which strongly shape their trajectories. Nevertheless, through these experiences, the women identified the development of meaningful subjective resources, in line with the Transferable Skills proposed by UNICEF LACRO (2022)— including problem-solving, decision-making, self-awareness, resilience, communication, and empathy. Motherhood emerges as a source of vital meaning, and therapeutic processes help strengthen their identities. Female and community-based support networks prove essential in addressing structural shortcomings. In this way, these women reshape their relationships and deploy strategies that challenge traditional family models, fostering greater autonomy and empowerment.
