Mother Centers International Network for Empowerment  

Definition

  • The German model of Mother Centers, created in the late 1970s in Germany for stay-at-home mothers who felt isolated and marginalized in their childrearing tasks, has spread over the years in a spontaneous, bottom-up dissemination process into 20 countries with very different economic, social, cultural, and political conditions. The Mother Centers International Network for Empowerment (MINE) was founded in 2000 as a networking tool to understand what was behind this process and to harness its potential.
