Mission Statement
Mission Statement
Mothers & More is a 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 and herself.
- Mothers have the right to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities
without incurring social and economic penalties.
- The transitions women make into and through motherhood are
challenging and can be difficult.
- Together, mothers are powerful.
