Make Mothers Matter
Afghan Mothers Campaign
Our #MMMAfghanMothers campaign got off to a dynamic start in November at the LSE in London. Here’s a look back at the evening: who was there and what was said, in support of mothers in Afghanistan and their right to education for themselves and their daughters.
Why Mothers?
Advancing their skills and recognizing their responsibility as the first educators of their children are key levers for change.
What we do:
Advocacy work and mobilisation on the ground, with 3 main focus areas
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.
