The world is growing rapidly, and with such growth, families all over the world are transforming in terms of their structure, demography and trends. Even then, the United Nations still recognizes the family as the basic unit of society. Thus, in order to create awareness on the issues relating to families, every year, 15th May is observed as the “International day of families”.
The day came in action after the declaration was made by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution A/RES/47/237 of 20 September 1993. It comes up with an annually attentive motto. This year it is "Families and inclusive societies". As stated by the United Nations that “The International Day of Families provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families as well as to promote appropriate action. The Day can become a powerful mobilizing factor on behalf of families in all countries, which avail themselves of this opportunity and demonstrate support of family issues appropriate to each society.”
It is said, “Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights and our comfort when we occasionally falter” – Brad Henry
