• Empowering Mothers.

    Supporting postpartum mothers in reclaiming their identity.Community-driven solutions for a brighter future.

  • In many families, the father's workday starts at the office and the mother's from the kitchen.

    Her day has no rest time and no social interaction.

    She also wants to work and start anew.

    This time, the community lit a lamp for them.

    — Li Wei Her Reboot has been a life-changing resource for me. It helped me reconnect with my passions and find a supportive community. Our community has empowered over 300 mothers to reclaim their lives after childbirth This community-based solution aims to provide a blueprint for building a support platform for postpartum mothers, ultimately resulting in a webpage. At the beginning of the webpage, I envision a long page with hand-drawn illustrations, concisely and intuitively illustrating the current situation faced by unemployed mothers in China. In traditional Chinese society, men are not responsible for household chores; they only need to go to work during the day. All the housework and childcare falls on women. These women's lives are often filled with heavy housework and the daily needs of their husbands and children. They have no time for themselves, no social life, and no time to develop their hobbies. Most women receive just enough money from their husbands each month to cover their living expenses. Their careful budgeting often results in criticism from their husbands for not saving money or complaints that they have an easy life at home without working. Even the children's studies rely on the mothers for tutoring. My illustrations aim to depict these issues. They may want to escape this situation but feel powerless and directionless. My goal is to provide guidance and support to them through community-based modules. Therefore, this solution also provides direction for communities to help mothers re-enter the workforce (some community case studies are needed for reference). I want to analyze the challenges these mothers face at each step using this flowchart format and offer some solutions. Besides building communication communities, recruiting psychologists to counsel these mothers, providing professional courses and re-employment skills training, or connecting them with social enterprises to offer flexible-hour positions, I believe the most important thing is to make the entire family and fathers realize that housework and childcare shouldn't be solely the mother's responsibility—this is outdated thinking, and mothers also have the right to pursue self-actualization. I think communities can offer housework training courses for fathers and promote equal responsibility for housework and childcare, conducting public lectures and promoting this through neighborhoods and social media. If the impact is significant enough to raise social awareness, it might slightly change the discrimination against pregnant and postpartum mothers in the Chinese workplace. These may just be my current, immature ideas, but I hope they can truly help these women in the future.

    Daily Housework Hours

    — Chen Fang The support from Her Reboot has been invaluable. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone in this journey. Our community has empowered over 300 mothers to reclaim their lives after childbirth The plan concept based on the community unit aims to provide a blueprint for building a support platform for postpartum mothers in the community, with the final output being in the form of a webpage. At the beginning of the webpage, I want to create a long page in the form of hand-drawn illustrations to briefly and intuitively express the current situation faced by unemployed mothers in China. Under traditional Chinese concepts, men are not responsible for family affairs; they only need to go to work during the day, while all household chores and childcare responsibilities fall on women. The lives of these women are often filled with heavy household chores and the daily needs of their husbands and children. They have no time for themselves, no social life, and no opportunity to develop their hobbies. Most women can only receive just enough money for the month's living expenses from their husbands each month, and they often have to budget every penny, only to be criticized by their husbands for not saving money or being complained about for not working and being too relaxed at home. Even the children's education relies on the mothers for tutoring. My illustrations aim to express the above content. They may want to break free from their current situation but feel powerless and unable to find direction. What I want to do is provide guidance and support for them using the community as a module, so this plan also provides direction for the community to help mothers re-enter the workforce (some community case references are needed). I want to analyze the dilemmas these mothers face at every step in the form of a flowchart and provide some solutions. In addition to establishing communication communities, recruiting psychologists to provide counseling for these mothers, offering professional courses and re-employment skills training, or contacting social enterprises to provide flexible job positions, I believe the most important thing is to make the entire family and fathers realize that household chores and childcare should not be solely the responsibility of mothers. This is a flawed mindset; mothers also have the right to pursue self-actualization. I believe the community can conduct training courses for fathers on household chores and promote equal responsibility for household and childcare duties. Public classes can be held and promoted in neighborhoods and on social media. If the impact is significant enough to attract social attention, it may slightly change the discrimination against pregnant and postpartum mothers in the Chinese workplace. All of the above may just be my immature ideas at this stage, but I hope to truly help these women in the future.
