History of Global Day of Parents
The global community has been paying more and more attention to the family’s crucial role since the 1980s. The International Year of the Family and the International Day of Families were declared by the General Assembly together with several other resolutions. In 2012, the UN General Assembly declared this day as a way to recognize parents for their unwavering dedication and lifetime sacrifices in raising their children. The day also acknowledges that families are largely in charge of providing for and raising children.
