The International Day of the Family is held on May 15 every year. This day celebrates families around the world and highlights their importance. It aims to strengthen the family unit by making family members aware of their responsibilities. The day hopes to raise awareness of equality within families and of sharing domestic duties. It also focuses on how families should encourage employment for all. The day was created by the United Nations General Assembly to support families and encourage them to contribute towards society. There is a different theme each year. In 1996, it was “Families: First Victims of Poverty and Homelessness”. Themes since then have focused on families and education, human rights, development, and disabilities.
