🌎 International NGO improving the lives of mothers globally 👩‍👧‍👦 Amplifying Mothers Voices 📢 Every mother deserves to be heard!

Claire de Liedekerke, President of Make Mothers Matter, spoke directly to EU policymakers and institutions with clear, actionable recommendations:  Parental leave: Encourage member states to ensure leave is adequately remunerated so it is not disproportionately shouldered by mothers. Flexible work: Elevate the Right to request flexible working into a true right of access. Maternal mental health: Explicitly embed maternal mental health into the Child Guarantee national action plans and propose a Council Recommendation on Perinatal Mental Health. Integration into health systems: Implement the 2022 WHO guide on perinatal mental health across Europe. Recognition of care work: Drive cultural and political change to value unpaid care as essential work that sustains society.
