Make Mothers Matter at UNESCO
The mission of UNESCO is to build peace through education, science, culture, communication, and information. Through its advocacy work, MMM promotes:
- The importance of girls’ and mothers’ education and their ICT training
- The crucial role of mothers for early childhood development, as they are the de facto primary caregiver and educator of their children, in particular during the early years
- The need for recognition and integration of mothers as peer educators with other stakeholders in formal education programs
- The need for recognition and support of mothers, as major actors in education for peace and global citizenship
