The History of International Day of Families
The United Nations established this day to highlight the critical role families play in our society and raise awareness about the economic, social, and demographic issues they face.
The journey to recognising this day began in the 1980s when the United Nations started to focus on the evolving structure of families and the challenges they come across. By 1989, the UN General Assembly declared that year as The International Year of the Family, leading to the establishment of the International Day of Families in 1993.
This day was set to encourage the international community to better understand the family’s pivotal role as society’s basic unit and address the challenges families worldwide face.
Each year, a specific theme sheds light on particular aspects of family life and their challenges. These themes have ranged from poverty and homelessness to the impact of migration, gender equality, and the inclusion of all types of families, both traditional and non-traditional.
The aim is to celebrate the diversity of families and reinforce the idea that there is no single model for what a family should be.
