Much appreciation to all the mothers around the world. Your love and strength is admirable and should be honored. Every mother should be honored everyday, be in a safe space, protected, and respected. This is not the current reality for women around the world, and we need to unite together as women and mothers to protect one another.
Some mothers might be out to a luxurious champagne brunch, but for many mothers in war torn countries, they are trying to survive a genocide and starvation. Please show your support for the mothers facing atrocities. Share their stories.
