Mother's ribbon movement: A new signal of support and community

In media, mentions have surfaced about a symbol that can be seen on baby strollers and women's handbags. This is a ribbon, which serves as an essential signal from mothers.

Recently, much has been said on social media about an initiative started by Anna Mathur. She believes that symbolic ribbons can be helpful for mothers with children. But how exactly are these ribbons supposed to work? Mathur explained it in an interview with journalists.

Anna Mathur, mother of three and a psychotherapist, gave an interview to "The Mirror" some time ago, in which she shared her experiences related to the difficulties of caring for children. At a critical moment, a certain thought occurred to her.

- I was juggling three kids down the high street, one was screaming and the other two lagging behind. I felt utterly depleted and was fighting back tears. looked around me and saw strangers, other mums, families, and people on their own. I wished so much that I could have turned to someone at that moment, for a kind word, a warm smile, or an extra hand to distract a child. I felt like a couple of people could see me struggling but may have worried I'd feel offended if they offered to help - Mathur recounted.

Then, Anna came up with the idea to create a symbolic signal through which mothers could ask for help. She proposed that other women attach ribbons to their handbags or baby strollers. This symbol signifies the readiness to accept help in difficult moments and the willingness to support other parents.

Anna was surprised at how quickly her initiative gained popularity. Two days after announcing the campaign, she received numerous photos from other mothers. Soon, the topic was picked up by the media.
