Initiators
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!

Mütter tragen unsere Gesellschaft – Tag für Tag, oft unsichtbar und unbezahlt. Und doch werden sie strukturell benachteiligt: ökonomisch, sozial, politisch. Als Initiative Equal Care Hamburg setzen wir uns dafür ein, dass genau diese unbezahlte Sorgearbeit endlich sichtbar wird – und als zentrale gesellschaftliche Leistung anerkannt. Care-Arbeit ist kein Privatproblem, sondern eine politische Frage der Gerechtigkeit. Die Kampagne "100.000 Mütter" macht diese Zusammenhänge laut und unübersehbar – darum unterstützen wir sie.

Women perform the majority of care work in society (44% more than their male partners). Unpaid and unprotected reproductive work also has an aggravating effect on the careers of female* artists.

K&K - Bündnis Kunst und Kind is an initiative that promotes the interests of artists with children. K&K manages a network, organizes exhibitions and discursive meetings, as well as actions in public spaces. The aim is to build networks, work together on projects and pool information. Together with alliance partners, we draw national attention to the poor compatibility of care work and art. We are delighted that 100,000 mothers are finally thinking big! We need a big movement to finally make a real change.
