• Since the foundation of the Association in the year 1984 we have been

accomplishing social, legal, psychological and work demands, among others of the

collective of single mothers, one-parent families and women, taking an active part

in the creation of services for women in general and especially for one-parent

families, becoming a worldwide reference for the association movement of single

mothers. The Fundación de Familias Monoparentales “Isadora Duncan” is the most

veteran entity of this collective in Spain and one of the pioneer ones in the

association movement of One-Parent Families.

Who are we?

• The Fundación de Familias

Monoparentales “Isadora

Duncan”is the heiress of the

Asociación de Madres Solteras

“Isadora Duncan”.

I

The women founders of the association were

encouraged by the aim of demanding and enforcing

the rights which they, as women and as families, are

granted by Spanish laws, facing up to social and

financial discrimination, which was then more

noticeable but which is now more hidden and less

obvious, since they often bear a double

discrimination.

• Defense of dignity, social and legal

equality and educational promotion and

incorporation into labour market have

constituted and constitute the main core

issues of its activity.

•Because of the specific problems of one-

parent families in Spain, Europe and Latin

America, and very especially poverty.
