Three-quarters of Hungarian adults believe that mothers are respected in Hungary, the Mária Kopp Institute for Population and Families (KINCS) announced, referring to a poll conducted on the occasion of Mother's Day. They also reported that eight out of ten Hungarians think that mothers hold families together and that they play the biggest role in raising children. Among those with children, the elderly, women and those living in the countryside, the proportion of those who think so is even higher.

Six out of ten completely agree that family policy should be based primarily on mothers, only a sixth of those interviewed were negative in this regard. People with children, women and the elderly are more likely to identify with this statement. 83 percent of respondents are grateful to their mother for raising them, seven out of ten are completely satisfied with the way their mother raised them , and only three percent said they were dissatisfied. The survey also revealed that according to 71 percent of Hungarians, mothers are valued in Hungary at the level of society as a whole , and their work for families is recognized.

The National Food Chain Safety Office has issued information for expectant mothers. The authority stated that food safety is particularly important during pregnancy, so its experts only use food wisely! as part of the program, a small group was compiled. Attention was drawn to the fact that during pregnancy, the immune system works with less efficiency, so expectant mothers may be more susceptible to foodborne diseases.

The Szent István Institute recommends helping expectant mothers in crisis situations by starting the 24/7 helpline indicated on the pregnancy tests. The purpose of the call is to provide an institutional support service for mothers whose pregnancy is a crisis for some reason.
