Every year 15th of May is
celebrated as International Day of Families (IDF). This day highlights the
importance of families as a basic unit of society. May 15th was proclaimed by
the United Nations General Assembly in 1993 to reflect the importance of the
international community towards families. International Day of Families provides
an opportunity to raise awareness of the issues related to families and increase
the knowledge of the "social, economic and demographic processes affecting
families." International Day of Families also celebrates the role of
families in development.
