Message of MMM Europe Team : We have the great pleasure to unveil the results of the « Survey of Mothers in Europe » which some of you have kindly helped promote last year. As partner in the FAMILY PLATFORM (www.familyplatform.eu),
MMM Europe had the objective to survey Europe's mothers to discover and voice the realities, concerns and opinions about their wellbeing and their families. 11,000 mothers have responded.
We summarized their messages in a brochure called « What Matters to Mothers in Europe » (downloadable here : English ) that was sent to more than 700 Members of European Parliament. A press release is being sent TODAY to over 10,000 journalists in Europe and worldwide, so check out the news.

We invite you to share with your local politicians, press contacts, and others the messages from this survey that you deem important. By relaying the voices of mothers, we can all help society evolve in a better way.
If you would like to contact us, don't hesitate to do so at info@mmmeurope.org.

This year, EFOMW is celebrating the international women’s day in a context of the popular revolutions in the Arab world, where unfairness, oppression and dictatorship did prevail.

These revolutions contradicted the prejudice which suggests that Arab world is to be either surrendered to dictator regimes, or a not less, bloody Islamic Extremists. Today, the whole world witnessed the way in which these revolutions were inspired by freedom of expression and pacifist demonstrations.

These revolutions destroyed European-widespread fantasies and stereotypes about Muslim women, their submission, and their imprisonment within imposed rigid of gender roles.
