“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” – Michael J. Fox

Family is indeed everything, and that is why we observe the International Day of Families every year on May 15, to celebrate the existence of families and to put emphasis on the creation of family-centered policies, especially in the light of changing demographic, economic, and social trends that affect families. This year, it is also on the agenda for this day to highlight the importance of social protection for single-parent families.

On this Day of Families, let us be grateful for the unconditional love and support our families give us.

Happy International Day of Families!
