Mother Matters

The Erasmus plus project “Mother Matters (MoMs)” aims to spread awareness regarding motherhood for women with disabilities among related professionals and people with disabilities themselves. The “MoMs” project promotes the development of the two groups’ competences/skills, aiming to fill the existing communication and knowledge gaps at the national and European levels.
Other objectives are:
- identify the barriers that women with disabilities encounter in relationships with gynaecological-obstetric services,
- contribute to the empowerment and self-representation of people with disabilities,
- break down sexist stereotypes regarding the sphere of sexuality, affection and maternity and promote gender equality as well as improve dialogue between public and private institutions and people with disabilities.

Partners of the project are Istituto dei Sordi di Torino Onlus (Italy), Let Her In (Reus, Spain), COCEMFE Sevilla (Spain), EDF (Sofia, Bulgaria) and CIP (Nicosia, Cyprus).
