International Day of Families
UN General Assembly realized the importance of the basic family system and declared 15 May as International Family Day in 1993, and firstly was celebrated on 15 May 1994. The family system is the most essential element of social solidarity and serene society. Since 1996 the UN has been proffering a yearly theme for this Day.
UN Secretary-General urged upon the public policy-makers to settle the obstacles in the family system. The working conditions of parents affect them to play a smart role for their families.
The International Day of Families is, therefore, a source to attract the attention of policy-makers to develop need-based policies to create a nurturing environment at the family level for children, because a dysfunctional family system cannot build a functional society.
