What mothers do for the health of their families cannot be taken for granted. The strength of mothers and caregivers holds our community together. In addition to the invisible care work, gainful employment, which is usually only possible part-time, leads to a loss of self-esteem if career paths are blocked as a result, and later, for a large group, directly into poverty in old age. This must change. Ideally together with fathers. I am also involved in the Equal Care Munich alliance.
