As a grassroots charity with over 4 million members in over 80 countries, Mothers’ Union works alongside local communities through its worldwide membership, projects and programmes.
By understanding the needs of individuals and communities at a grassroots level, we are able to build effective policies which can have a real and lasting positive impact according to the specific needs of different communities across the world.
We then advocate and campaign to see these changes become reality.
With a powerful voice to call for change, Mothers’ Union advocates and campaigns at a local, national and international level. We do this by:
Our annual Fundraising Campaigns:
1 in 3 women around the world experience physical or sexual violence. On our Global Day of action in 2020, Mothers' Union and our members around the world raised our voices to say this must end now.
We are now moving from 16 Days of Activism to 365 Days of Activism.
We support women, men, children and young people, and families in all their forms to eliminate gender-based violence and abuse, to promote equality, to help build healthy relationships, and to support women in the key role they have in building communities and bringing peace and reconciliation.
Mothers’ Union campaigns around the world, through our 4 million members in 84 countries, for an end to gender-based violence – violence carried out most often against women and girls because of their gender
