Could equal parenting—where fathers and men play an active role in caregiving—be the key to building a more inclusive and cohesive society?
That is the question MMM side-event to the Commission on Social Development sought to answer.
Why Mothers?
We believe in the power of mothers to make the world a better place. We advocate for their recognition and support as changemakers. We amplify their voice at the highest level: the EU, UNESCO and the UN
Advancing their skills and recognizing their responsibility as the first educators of their children are key levers for change.
What we do:
Advocacy and grass roots mobilisation
with 3 main focus areas - all underpinned by education
Mothers & the Economy
They often face discriminations linked to motherhood and poverty…
But without mothers,
what economy?
Mothers & Health
They are at the heart of Early Childhood Development and family health issues…
But maternal health, a global health indicator, still remains a challenge
Mothers & Peace
They are the first victims of violence and armed conflicts…
But mothers also have the power to build bridges, mobilise and educate to the values of peace.
