Initiators

  • Irene Pabst

    Managing Director at the Evangelical Association for Women's Health

    Mothers do an incredible job every day to keep our society functioning and cohesive. At the same time, they are severely affected by structural disadvantages. The fault lies in the system. Unpaid care work and those who do it must finally be appropriately valued and given better framework conditions. That's why we're taking to the streets on May 10!

  • Antje Krause

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Andrea Boyer

    Managing Director Ev. Müttergenesung Württemberg gGmbH

    I am thrilled that so many organizations are joining our campaign. It's time for mothers to have a stronger lobby and be heard.

  • 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!

  • Delphine Takwi

    Consultant for Transcultural Dialogue and Maternal Health at the Frauenwerk der Nordkirche

    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.

  • Katrin Schmidt

    Chairwoman of the Evangelical Association for Women's Health e.V.

    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!

  • art+kind berlin

    Network of artists and cultural professionals

    Motherhood is not a career break - not even in the art world. We at kunst+kind berlin are fighting for visibility, recognition and real equal opportunities for artists who do care work. Mothers are the pillars of this society, but they are systematically marginalized: unpaid work, lack of security, poverty in old age. The same applies to art: those who care are marginalized. We say an end to this. We demand a fair cultural policy that recognizes motherhood not as an obstacle, but as part of artistic practice.

    Mothers must finally become visible!

  • Katja Mors

    Ärztin

    The completely underestimated work that parents, especially mothers, do in the context of care work. Often in addition to the job, unpaid, unseen, unappreciated, punished.

  • Hanna Steinmüller

    Bundestagsabgeordnete für Bündnis 90/Die Grünen

    Wir brauchen Strukturen, die Mütter nicht im Stich lassen. Vereinbarkeit darf kein individueller Kraftakt sein. Mutterschaft ist - ganz gleich, wie sie gelebt wird - politisch und muss sichtbar sein. Denn nur durch Sichtbarkeit kann sich etwas verändern.

    I am also a mother and would like to support a maternal movement
