Rebekka Rupprecht
Managing Director of the Mothers' Convalescent Home
Care work concerns us all and therefore also the health of mothers and other people with care responsibilities. For me, the campaign symbolizes a large community that recognizes this, shows solidarity and stands up for better framework conditions.

Dr. Dagmar Hertle
Physician, women's health activist, Arbeitskreis Frauengesundheit e.V.
Women carry out the majority of paid and unpaid care work - and most of them are mothers. But they receive far too little support. At the 2023 AKF conference on maternal health, it was clear that it is not enough to keep naming the problem - there must be visible changes. This urge for action gave rise to the idea of gathering 100,000 mothers in front of the Brandenburg Gate and making their voices unmistakable.

Delphine Takwi
Consultant for transcultural dialog and maternal health
Germany today is an intercultural country. In such a world, maternal health is very important. Maternal health is directly linked to the health of the child: Healthy mothers are more likely to raise healthier children - the well-being of mothers can affect the physical and mental health of their children for years to come. That's why we can no longer remain silent. The time is now for us to stand up, step out and speak clearly about our issues and rights as mothers.

Management of Haus Daheim prevention and rehabilitation clinic, women's health activist
It is high time to make our vision of an equal and diverse society a reality. I am particularly inspired by the power that comes from solidarity, sisterhood and connection. 100,000 mothers in front of the Brandenburg Gate - what image could better express our unwavering will for real change?

Irene Pabst
Managing Director at the Evangelical Association for Women's Health
I am excited by the idea of making our demands loud and clear in the middle of Berlin with a mass of mothers, women, children and supporters. It's time: we need a fair distribution of care work between all genders and good, supportive framework conditions for mothers and all those who perform care work - not in 30 years' time, but NOW!

Sarah Zöllner
Journalist and author. Founder of the action and networking platform #MütterMachtPolitik
I am fascinated by the networking idea behind this campaign! Mothers and people with caring responsibilities need to be much more present in all areas of society. Only if we reach a critical mass will our concerns be heard and taken seriously. Mothers belong on company boards, in the management of public institutions and on political committees. We can only achieve this together, in all our diversity. That's why I support this campaign!

Sina Rühland
Freelance journalist
We have over 20 million mothers in Germany and I am one of them. With the federal elections coming up in a few weeks, I can only hope that the generations of my parents and grandparents will remember that they are voting for the future of us and our children. The fact that there is now a campaign demanding a political say, creating visibility for unpaid family work and highlighting the sometimes dramatic bottlenecks in preventive healthcare and psychosocial support for mothers gives me hope and encourages me to take action. Let's join forces - for ALL mothers!

As a lobby for working mothers and those who want to become one (again)...
From the kitchen table in Cologne in 1990 and diapers at the town hall to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with changing female board members and now with many companions who are committed to a contemporary, consistent and equality-oriented family policy on a voluntary basis, it is long overdue that we mothers in our diversity make ourselves visible together in political Berlin in the fight for equal rights and equality. The vision of an inclusive society in which women's rights are recognized as human rights, equality and equality with #EqualCare, #EqualPay, #EqualPension and equal opportunities for self-realization are a matter of course and culture, is our motivation to be part of this important campaign!

"A campaign that fights for better conditions and equality within families. One that wants to bring 100,000 mothers and people with caring responsibilities onto the streets - to finally get the visibility they need. This is exactly what Sarah and I have been campaigning for with our #MütterMachtPolitik initiative for years. Now it's time: Let's go to Berlin!"

The opportunity to raise awareness for parents. Through my activities on the district parents' committee, I know that the needs of parents do not receive enough public attention, even though families make an important contribution to our society.

Mothers are systematically disadvantaged and have no lobby in this society. It's time we changed that.

Dr. Birgit Happel
Owner of Money Biographies® and Financial Biographies
Women continue to pay a high price for motherhood - financially, professionally, in terms of health and personally. The hidden costs of care work must be made visible and its value increased. My work advocates financial self-determination for women and better structural framework conditions. We need new role models, reliable care services, fair labour market opportunities for caregivers and appropriate recognition of unpaid work - not least to prevent maternal and old-age poverty and to protect women from financial violence.

The "100,000 Mothers" campaign moves us because it gives us the opportunity to bring the invisible stories and faces of mothers and caregivers into our society. It opens up space for what has long been overlooked: the challenges that caregivers silently bear, the injustices that are often taken for granted. This campaign embodies the call for justice, for equality, for recognition. It brings us together, makes us stand up and feel the power of visibility - a power that has the potential to change structures that have always weighed on the backs of caregivers.

It is mothers and care workers who subsidize our economy. On the contrary, they are confronted with conditions and structural hurdles that lead to exhaustion and professional work below their own level of competence and thus financial dependency. And exhaustion makes you quiet. But we mothers need to speak up! 100,000 Mothers starts right there with its demands and unites in times of division. For the good of all. We at JOBS FOR MOMS are fully behind this and say THANK YOU for the great commitment!

Hanna Drechsler
Cultural scientist and systemic consultant, expert in equal care
Care work belongs at the heart of our society! It is the basis of our coexistence and finally deserves the recognition it deserves. Mothers must be represented and heard in all areas of society! Their perspectives are indispensable for creating fair structures. I support the "One Hundred Thousand Mothers" initiative because I think it's great that it gives mothers and their concerns a platform and I am convinced of the power of sisterhood. Together we can be loud and make care work visible!

Wupperfrauen e.V.
We collect biographies of important Wuppertal women
The 100,000 Mothers campaign aims to make women and their achievements visible to society. History is largely written by men. How women live, what they have accomplished and continue to accomplish on a daily basis, and the difficulties they have faced and continue to face are all overlooked. We are delighted that 100,000 mothers in front of the Brandenburg Gate are contributing to greater visibility and more equality.

I am an enthusiastic mother of four grown-up children and see the exhausted mothers of today in my seminars. I myself struggle with poverty in old age. I have published a book on this topic with Kösel: "Too exhausted to be angry." Something urgently needs to change!!!

SelbstHilfeInitiative Alleinerziehender (SHIA) e. V. Landesverband Berlin
Honorary Board of Directors
Single parents are true heroes who, with incredible dedication and a lot of love, earn their living independently while managing everyday life with their children. They are predominantly mothers and their ability to successfully combine work and family life deserves not only recognition, but also fundamental appreciation from society. It is high time that the care they provide on a daily basis is recognized as an indispensable part of social life.

Initiators of Equal Care Day, authors and consultants
It is actually quite clear, Article 6 of the Basic Law: "Every mother is entitled to the protection and care of the community." A quick look at the statistics makes it clear how much we are disregarding this constitutional mandate throughout society and at all levels: Motherhood Penalty, financial dependency, poverty in old age and, as a logical consequence, falling birth rates; the media staging and idealistic reduction of women to the role of carer and nurturer (maternal instinct), from an early age, and men who, although the majority think they take on half of the day-to-day care work, do not do so and then lament that women won't let them (maternal gatekeeping). We can do it better, we actually want to do it better, so let's finally make it happen!

Katharina Desery
Head of Press and Public Relations and Board Member of the parent organization Mother Hood e.V.
We think the Hundred Thousand Mothers campaign is great because women* and family issues are hardly ever politically relevant. Family-friendly living conditions, such as fair care work and good healthcare, including better obstetric care, are just two of the most important issues for a society that is fair to mothers and families. It is time to become visible, to draw attention to the concerns of mothers* and families and to make loud demands with a joint campaign such as "One Hundred Thousand Mothers"! We are part of it!

Dr. Katharina Scherber
Geographer, climate change and health
I support "100,000 Mothers" because the climate crisis affects women in particular and this connection needs much more awareness in our society! The greatest health risk from climate change comes from heat. Women are doubly affected by this. On the one hand, because they react differently physically and, on the other, because they are less able to adapt due to care work and part-time employment. This also has an impact on the particularly sensitive phases of women's lives, from pregnancy and childbirth to menopause and old age. We need more information about this in order to promote participation and equal opportunities, including in overcoming the climate crisis, and to empower women and mothers!

For me, a modern women's, health and social policy is particularly important. This must include holistic support for women in the family system. We are still a long way from achieving this as a society, and even more so for those with political responsibility.
