HUERTA MATA, Rosa María. El cuerpo de las jóvenes madres solteras universitarias: representaciones y estrategias. La ventana [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.47, pp.207-250. ISSN 1405-9436.

The strategies implemented over the bodies of young unmarried mothers are analyzed, as well as the representations of these at the university. Which include the health system and family support networks of university students. We conducted in-depth interviews to 14 teachers and administrative staff of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí. This analysis was carried out from February to May 2014, in which we gathered the life stories of eight young single mothers who attended the School of Chemical Sciences. Entering motherhood as single mother does not conduce in a general way to, the use of contraceptive methods. The mothers interviewed reflected a partial use of the provided agencies of the university by attending this space with their children. There is a lack of university norms to socially legitimatize single mothers. On the other hand, the relationship between the capacity of the agency and their sexual reproductive rights are not established either in theory or in concept but rather in reflective actions that lack a theoretical support that would allow them to carry out with greater force their rights.
