EmailIn his speech, he denounced amongst other “fallacies and falsehoods”, “the fiction that unpaid care work is not work”, an issue at the heart of MMM’s advocacy for over 70 years.
He emphasized that COVID-19 is a human tragedy. But it has also created a generational opportunity. An opportunity to build back a more equal and sustainable world. Quoting Nelson Mandela he refers to Education as “the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world”.
By recognizing the dual importance of Care and Education, his words fuel the engine of our mission: to seek support and recognition for mothers as change makers for a better world.
It is with gratitude we receive his call to action as a powerful encouragement for our ongoing work.
