Mission Statement & Core
Beliefs
Our Mission
Mothers
& More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of
mothers through support, education and advocacy. We address mothers' needs as
individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the work
mothers do.
Our mission is based on the following core beliefs
-
A mother is more than any single role she plays at any given point
in her lifetime. She is entitled to fully explore and develop her identity as
she chooses: as a woman, a citizen, a parent or
an employee.
-
All the work mothers do — whether
paid or unpaid - has social and economic value.
-
All women deserve recognition and
support for their right to choose if and how to combine parenting and paid
employment.
-
All mothers, all children and all
families are unique. We respect the wisdom of each mother to decide how to care
for her children, her family and herself.
-
Mothers have the right to fulfill
their caregiving responsibilities without incurring social and economic
penalties.
-
The transitions women make into and
through motherhood are challenging and can be difficult.
-
Together, mothers are powerful.
