The modern Mother’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in May, though also in March, as a day to honor mothers and motherhood. In the United States it was nationally recognized as a holiday in 1914 after a campaign by Anna Jarvis. In some countries, it follows the old traditions of Mothering Sunday.

In the United States, it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Indeed, an increasing share of flowers which are sold in Europe is grown in countries close to the equator.<\/span><\/p>\n Do you wonder why? Around the equator conditions for growing flowers are more favourable than in Europe. Those countries don’t have cold winters, they constantly have 12 hours daylight and they have fertile soil. Labour is cheap and, labour and environmental laws are not as strict as in Europe, or at least, they are not enforced.<\/span><\/p>\n Are you concerned about the latter? We, too, are. That’s why we have started a campaign to raise awareness on labour rights, workers‘ health, and environmental protection in the flower industry. Join us and be part of the change.<\/span><\/p>\n The campaign „Fair Flowers for Human Rights“ <\/strong>– Non-governmental organisations from Austria, Belgium, Germany, and Czech Republic have jointly started a campaign to raise awareness on human rights violations and environmental pollution by the global flower industry. The campaign is supported by the Zimbabwean Non-Governmental Organisation Kunzwana and the Uganda Workers‘ Education Association.<\/span><\/p>\n The campaign targets consumers, flower traders and local authorities and it aims at changing their consumption and purchasing patterns towards ensuring that flowers are produced in socially and environmentally sound conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n As means to reach our targets we will produce information material, organise exhibitions and speakers‘ tours of flower workers, produce a movie, conduct workshops and lobby politicians. We will be present at various public events. You can read more on the specific actions in each country if you click on the logos of the campaign partners below. http:<\/span>\/\/w<\/span>ww.flowers-for-human-dignity.org\/09\/index.php\/the-campaign.html<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
