We have over 20 million mothers in Germany and I am one of them. When the Bundestag elections come 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 preventative healthcare and psychosocial support for mothers gives me hope and encourages me to take action. Let's join forces - for ALL mothers!
