Mothers raise the future

This campaign is a tribute to the invisible strength, the everyday choices, and the quiet revolutions we lead as mothers.

Mothers raise the future

I thought of this campaign after the elections in my country, but also after watching everything that happens all around the world: the hatred, the unfairness, and the lack of love, empathy, and affection.

I don't want my daughter to live in this world, but I know it's our duty to change it. We serve as mirrors for our children and role models for them, so we must speak out and act in ways that reflect the change we want to see.

Silence is not an option; it never was. We have to USE our voices so that our kids learn to use theirs.

Why This Campaign?

Because we don’t just raise children. We raise future leaders, artists, healers, and changemakers. Through the small, repeated actions of love, discipline, presence, and example, we build the foundation of tomorrow.

We raise them with:

  • Courage to speak their truth.
  • We instill in them the kindness of treating others with dignity.
  • Awareness of their impact on the world.

This is also a celebration of my community — of women who choose, every single day, to raise their children with courage, compassion, and consciousness.

What #RaiseThemRight Means

To raise them right means more than providing for their physical needs.
It means:

  • We are cultivating emotional intelligence.
  • We should encourage curiosity over perfection.
  • We are teaching them to value both themselves and others.
  • Showing them that the world is theirs to nurture—not just use. They have not only rights but also responsibilities.

A Mother’s Silent Legacy

Every decision we make—from the way we speak to them to the values we model—echoes into their future. Our motherhood is a legacy. It is a legacy that often goes unnoticed, yet quietly and powerfully propels the world forward.

It's our responsibility to break old patterns and not raise our children in the same "traditional way" that we were. It's not about blaming the past; it's about healing so our kids don't have to carry our baggage.

Together, we are raising a generation who will know their worth, honour others, and navigate the world with both strength and softness.

Join the Movement

I invite mothers to join my campaign all year round, because the 1st of June is only the beginning.

  • Please email your photo and the text on it to harabagiuraluca@yahoo.com, sharing how you choose daily to raise your child with me and my community. I will include the photo in this article and post it on my social media channels.

Let's use our voice to be the change in the world, to break old patterns and to create a better world for us, but even more for our kids and the future generations.
