Mommy Movement is a group blog where bloggers come together to raise awareness for women's issues. Several times a week, bloggers post one short reflection on a potential solution to challenges women face and, in return, take part in a larger effort to catalyze social change, connect with others who care about making a difference in the world, and use their blogging talents for good.

They say every minute a woman dies from childbirth. This project aims to donate just one day—or at least one blog post—back in empathy and solidarity. Participation is simple: bloggers read one potential solution to women’s issues and then write a short 400-word-or-less reflection for Mommy Movement. Featured bloggers choose this potential solution from entries to one of three women-related Changemakers.com competitions--contests that crowdsource the most promising new solutions, grant support to winning social entrepreneurs, and map the gaps and challenges in various fields of social change (in this case, maternal health, women and technology, and violence against women).

In the end, the blog will present a collection of stories that inspire people to realize that ordinary people can take part in extraordinary change. It just starts with a little bit of empathy.
