Mothers Around the World Work Double Duty Explore our New Gallery, Mama's Work
Explore Mama’s Work Credit: Chantal Anderson	Motherhood is one of the world’s most important jobs—yet it comes without a salary, and demands 24-hour, 7 days-a-week shifts. How are mothers able to balance the work of mothering with paid work outside the home? What countries are getting it right, and what do governments need to do to better support working mothers? Find out in our new gallery, Mama’s Work. Explore stories such as an interview with working mother Um Ala in Jordan, who supports her family and employs her husband and sons in a country where female business leadership is rare. Read Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s personal, heartfelt essay “A Revolution, Stalled” about what’s missing in the US when it comes to supporting mothers. Or watch the Mama’s Voices video documentary “Mama’s Work” featuring interviews with moms around the globe discussing how they juggle it all. If you’re inspired by MAMA and want to get involved, start by signing our pledgefor improved maternal health! Or, if you’ve already signed the pledge, consider becoming a Maternal Health Ambassador! With Maternal Health Ambassadors in the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Sierra Leone, and Ghana, it’s truly a global movement. Join today!
