          Abstract

          Resumen: Se presenta un estudio que exploró en las vivencias de maternidad de mujeres que ejercen la prostitución a nivel de vía pública. Así, se enfocó la maternidad como una institución social vinculada a imaginarios prescriptivos y a políticas de control de género; y a su vez, se entendió la prostitución como institución patriarcal que estigmatiza a las mujeres que la ejercen. En base al análisis de entrevistas en profundidad realizadas en Barcelona, los resultados dan cuenta que el ʻideal maternalʼ convive con el estigma de la prostitución, aunque no se interioriza negativamente, pues se desarrollan estrategias para gestionar la maternidad en el marco de una ʻvida ocultaʼ; sin embargo, también se vislumbra que esta gestión implica vivenciar experiencias muchas veces contradictorias en el marco del ejercicio de la prostitución.

          Translated abstract

          Summary: This paper presents a study that explored the experiences of motherhood in women who are involved in street prostitution. For this work, motherhood is focused as a socially constructed institution linked to prescriptive social imaginary and gender control policies; and, in turn, prostitution was understood as a patriarchal social institution where the associated stigma brands the experience of those women who exercise it. Based on the analysis of in-depth interviews conducted in Barcelona the results show that the ‘maternal ideal’ lives with the stigma of prostitution, although not negatively internalized as they have develop strategies to manage motherhood within a ʻhidden lifeʼ; however, it is also envisaged that this management involves living often contradictory experiences in the exercise of prostitution.

            When street sex workers are mothers.

            Many women who engage in street sex work experience pregnancies and become mothers. Unfortunately, little research has examined how their pregnancies and parenting impact themselves as street sex workers and their street sex work. In this qualitative research study, 16 mothers who were currently involved in street sex work in a Midwestern city of the United States participated in semistructured interviews. These mothers discussed how being pregnant or parenting while regularly working the street caused them to feel ashamed of themselves and their work and anxious for their own and their children's safety. Pregnancies and parenting responsibilities reportedly altered their working productivity and practices. Given how frequently they had been separated from their children, they also talked about ways in which these separations resulted in them having more free time and need for drugs, which led to them increasing the amount they worked the street. It is evident from these interviews that street sex workers who are mothers have unique needs and experiences that must be considered by researchers, policy makers, and service providers.
