What does it mean to be a mother on the move? To fight not only for your own life but also for that of your children? When we draw attention to mothers’ rights, needs, work and care work on Mother’s Day, we must not forget mothers who have become refugees above all. Studies show that they face an increased risk of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts.
A Mother’s Day that ignores this brutal reality misses the point. True solidarity means fighting for the rights of ALL mothers.
