The Mother Rising Survey

Survey for: mothers, women, and gender-diverse individuals in Canada who take on unpaid caregiving roles for people in their lives (e.g. children, elders). 

Purpose: We want to hear how you have been coping over the last, challenging two years. What do you need to rise? Your voice will help us continue to develop advocacy and policy actions to make things better for mothers and caregivers in Canada.

Answers are anonymous and are not linked to names or other identifying information. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Through funding, research, advocacy, and knowledge sharing, we work to achieve systemic change. We support women, girls, and gender-diverse people to move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence and leadership.
