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!

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?
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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

The campaign starts exactly where our core issue lies: Strengthening mothers in their mental health and giving them the space they need (after stressful birth experiences). In obstetrics and postnatal care, there is still a lack of support and visibility for the challenges that many women experience after giving birth. With our work, we want to help change this and, together with the campaign, raise awareness of the importance of genuine care for mothers.

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.

We are mothers ourselves and our hearts burn for mothers. As a platform, we support women with children wherever we can and it is therefore logical that we support this campaign. There is so much to do and we must finally set an example so that we are not constantly ignored, ridiculed and disadvantaged. That is what we are campaigning for!

The "100,000 Mothers" campaign advocates a society that places mothers* and care work at the center and calls for the consistent inclusion of mothers in all socially relevant decisions.as Beratungsstelle für Natürliche Geburt und Elternsein e. V. we share this vision. In our daily work, we experience the great challenges and the enormous exhaustion that mothers*, parents and care-givers face. We are convinced that structural solutions are needed to provide sustainable relief for families. That is why we are supporting the "100,000 Mothers" campaign to stand up together for real equality, solidarity and a future worth living.

We are also fighting for unpaid care work and care, as well as the knowledge and experience of mothers*, to be more widely recognized and acknowledged by society. We support the campaign and its demands, as it aims to make the experiences of discrimination faced by mothers* more visible and thus improve the realities of their lives.

How multifaceted the unequal treatment of FLINTA* can be in terms of equal rights and equality and how it can be depicted apart from sober figures: in intersectional, post-feminist, hegemony-free equality.
Mothers are the backbone of society and it's time we ALL took responsibility. The well-being of mothers concerns us ALL!

Mütter in die Mitte – ist mein Wunsch, Kampf und Arbeitsfeld seit Jahrzehnten. Mütter in die Mitte – ist unsere kulturelle Wurzel, mit Wohlsein für ALLE, Frieden, gelebter Gleichberechtigung und ohne Überforderung, welche unsere Gesellschaftsform sich bis heute leistet. Bisher auf Kosten des Lebens, einem fried-&liebevollen Geboren Werden und Sterben, von Gesundheit und seelischem Wohlbefinden. Dies darf sich ändern! Es muss sich ändern! Dies ist mein Wunsch aus vollem Herzen! Und meine Begeisterung für 100.000 Mütter und mehr! Danke, dass Ihr alle dabei seid!!!

Wir brauchen ein starkes Bündnis für mehr Sichtbarkeit, Wertschätzung und Anerkennung von (unbezahlter) Fürsorgearbeit. Fürsorge ist das Fundament, das alles hält und darf kein Armutsrisiko sein. Ich wünsche mir ein gleichberechtigtes Miteinander von Fürsorge- und Erwerbsarbeit. Ich wünsche mir bessere Bedingungen für Elternschaft. Ein Hinterfragen der aktuellen „Normalität“, die so viel Absurdität bereithält. Wieso ist es normal, dass viele Frauen* unter der Geburt Gewalt erfahren? Warum ist es normal, dass Alleinerziehende oft von Armut betroffen sind? Warum ist es normal, dass struktureller Mangel herrscht? Wieso ist es normal, Vollzeit für alle als Norm zu etablieren ungeachtet aller Fürsorgeverpflichtungen? Wer definiert was Leistung ist? Wessen Leistung bleibt unsichtbar? Und was macht das mit uns? Und wie könnte es anders sein? Und hunderte Fragen mehr.

Stärkung von Müttern! Gesellschaftlich sowie politisch laut werden für das Thema Gleichstellung. Die Identifikation mit einer und Gruppe und Themen, die mich bewegen.

Der breite gesellschaftliche Zusammenschluss, der hinter der Kampagne steht - mit dem Ziel die Gleichberechtigung zu fördern und auf die gesellschaftliche Benachteiligung von Familien - und insbesondere von Müttern - hinzuweisen. Es geht um den Schutz vor Diskriminierung, insbesondere auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, die faire Verteilung von Care-Arbeit und die leider viel zu oft ausstehende gesellschaftliche Wertschätzung. Auch geht es für mich auch darum Alleinerziehende als Alltagsheld*innen zu feiern. Der 10. Mai ist mein Geburtstag - ein idealer Tag, um eine so bedeutende gesellschaftliche Bewegung zu starten. Ich freue mich ein Teil dieser Bewegung zu sein.
For 25 years, I have been committed to the health of mothers and children as part of my work for Mothers' Convalescence and Haus WaldQuelle, both in concrete terms and for society as a whole.

Die Kampagne „100000 Mütter“ begeistert mich, weil sie ein starkes Zeichen gegen Gewalt an Frauen setzt und das Bewusstsein für dieses drängende gesellschaftliche Problem schärft. Gewalt gegen Frauen – ob physisch, psychisch oder wirtschaftlich – betrifft nicht nur Einzelne, sondern hat tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf Familien und die gesamte Gesellschaft. Diese Kampagne gibt den Betroffenen eine Stimme, fordert Schutz, Unterstützung und strukturelle Veränderungen.Mich motiviert es, Teil davon zu sein, weil ich daran glaube, dass echte Veränderung nur durch kollektives Engagement möglich ist. Jede Mutter, jede Frau verdient ein Leben in Sicherheit und Würde. Die Kampagne zeigt, dass wir nicht allein sind, sondern gemeinsam für eine gewaltfreie Zukunft kämpfen können. Sie ermutigt dazu, nicht wegzusehen, sondern aktiv zu werden – für uns selbst, für unsere Kinder und für kommende Generat
The campaign will finally make mothers and what they do on a daily basis visible. Women and mothers should receive the support they deserve from the state and society in all phases of their lives.
