Can Job Sharing Transform Work-Life Balance?



Watch the recording of the webinar
we organised on 16 June


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 recognising 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.

MMM Delegations to International Organisations

They advocate to bring a “mother's” perspective to discussions at international level
