May 15, 2022

“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.” – Lisa Weed

International Family Day is celebrated globally on May 15 every year.  The day spreads awareness about the importance of families and the role of the international community in the development of families.

Now a question must be arising in the mind of all of you what is the reason behind celebrating this day and when was it celebrated for the first time?

The first International Family Day was celebrated in 1993 when the United Nations passed a resolution to encourage better living standards around the world.

In 1994, it officially declared it as International Day of Families to recognize the change in social structure.
