When being a single mother is a choice, but it is not free of inequalities. The decision to become a single-parent family is increasingly normalized in society.
These parents face specific problems in two areas: socioeconomic and psychosocial. “There is a lack of protection suffered by single parents and the children of these families, whose risk of poverty practically doubles just because of the family model to which they belong,” says Miriam Tormo, president of the Association of Single Mothers by Choice.
