News from the staff at Mothers’ Union head office (Mary Sumner House) is that the Mothers’ Union family has now expanded to more than 80 countries: there are now Mothers’ Union members living out our aims and values in the Republic of Congo (otherwise known as Congo-Brazzaville or Little Congo) and Namibia.
One of Mothers’ Union activities is in the area of social policy, specifically as it relates to family life. The European Commission has asked a consortium of non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and universities to come up with recommendations for future research on family policy to be funded by them. As part of this exercise the World Movement of Mothers is conducting an online survey of European mothers to ask for their views and experiences. The results of this will be very helpful for future policy work within Mothers’ Union and other organisations campaigning for families. The questionnaire takes about 20 minutes to complete and can be found here.
The latest Social Policy update from Mothers’ Union is downloadable here: Faith_Policy_Watch_April2010 with news of the 54th UN Commission on the Status of Women, information regarding the UK elections, and a recent report on the sexualisation of children.
