For a one-day
International Peace Conference
in Ypres, Belgium
#Mothers4Peace
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
They often face discriminations linked to motherhood and poverty…
But without mothers,
what economy?
They are at the heart of Early Childhood Development and family health issues…
But maternal health, a global health indicator, still remains a challenge
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.
They advocate to bring a “mother's” perspective to discussions at international level
