Mission
Mothers & More is an international
non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers
through support, education and advocacy. We address mothers' needs as
individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the
work mothers do.
Our
mission is based on the following core beliefs:
- A mother
is more than any single role she plays at any given point in her
lifetime. She is entitled to fully explore and develop her identity as
she chooses: as a woman, a citizen, a parent or an employee.
- All the
work mothers do - whether paid or unpaid - has social and economic
value.
- All women
deserve recognition and support for their right to choose if and how to
combine parenting and paid employment.
- All
mothers, all children and all families are unique. We respect the
wisdom of each mother to decide how to care for her children, her
family, herself.
- Mothers
have the right to fulfill their caregiving responsibilties without
incurring social and economic penalties.
- The
transitions women make into and through motherhood are challenging and
can be difficult.
- Together,
mothers are powerful.
