A platform addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by mothers during pandemics
From balancing high demands of work and childcare to managing the economic uncertainties and navigating the complexities of mental health, our mothers are in crisis. With a strong community built around helping mothers thrive with the right tools and resources, we are able to be a pillar of support and offer understanding, connection, and aid to our mothers during the current and future pandemics.
Women in the labor force has hit record lows, last seen in the 1980s.
Covid-19 has caused millions of women to leave the work force, including at least a million mothers who are completely out of work and any sense of job or income security. This is one of the largest and most alarming consequences of the pandemic, contributing to a significant set back in the progress we have made over generations. This abrupt shift in work along with the closure of schools and childcare establishments have placed a huge burden on our mothers, calling for urgent acknowledgement and change.
