How a maternal mindset can help us navigate global crises
In short: In an era of instability, activist Yifat Susskind proposes a shift in perspective. This talk explores how 'thinking like a mother' can move us from witnessing suffering to actively building a better world.
Yifat Susskind, the executive director of the organization MADRE, argues that adopting a maternal way of thinking means prioritizing the needs of the many over the whims of a few. This mindset is defined by a determination to ease the suffering of others.
Through moving stories of people worldwide, the video demonstrates how this approach helps us look beyond hardship to create lasting change. Susskind's work with MADRE specifically supports women's human rights activists across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America to address urgent community needs.
