This paper aims to analyze the modes of social and discursive construction of political and blood kinship in the Asociación Madres de Plaza de Mayo (AMPM hereinafter). Tools from the anthropology of kinship and family studies are used to examine how family ties are configured and the role given to biological ties in this constitution. In addition, the relationship between kinship and human rights in post-dictatorship Argentina are researched and how this model has influenced the notion of family in the realm of human rights organizations. The focus is particularly on AMPM from its formation in 1979, until the 2000s to reflect on the meaning of political motherhood and the socialization of motherhood. The analysis is based on three sources: The minutes of formation of the Association on August 25,1979; an interview with Hebe de Bonafini in which she explains the origin of the socialization of motherhood, and the speech given by the president of the organization on the occasion of the 19th March of Resistance held on December 31,1999 to welcome the new millennium. The goal is to understand the existence of generational and political legacies in the familiarity within human rights organizations. In order to carry out this analysis, the case of H.I.J.O.S (Hijos e hijas por la Identidad y la Justicia, contra el Olvido y el Silencio) and Nietes organizations were taken up, analyzing how the ideas of AMPM and the context of emergence of each organization influence their adaptation to the current situation
