Itâs time to take motherhood seriously.
For too long,
the issues that women, children and families face have been treated as less important. The responsibilities of motherhood considered a departure from ârealâ work. The duties of family life the problem of those who chose to have children. The health of women, children, and families, less important than other government priorities.
But with
Motherlyâs State of Motherhood survey revealing that
85% of American mothers say that society doesnât understand or support them, itâs time to demand more.
Thatâs why together with Mom Congress weâre declaring 2020 The Year of the Mother.
Weâre calling on leaders at all levelsâfrom the presidential candidates, to employers in our communities, to our partners, to take action to help mothers go from
surviving motherhood to thriving in motherhood.
The burden on women today is simply too heavy. Mothers today are doing enough. Itâs time for everyone elseâour communities, our corporations, our government, our partnersâto finally do their share.
