In the 1980s, the United Nations started on its quest to celebrate families. Since then, it has been focusing its attention on issues related to the cornerstone of society. Its activities are based on the belief that a dysfunctional family system can't build a functional society. So the UN is trying to attract the attention of policy-makers to develop need-based policies to create a nurturing environment at the family level for children. In 1989, a resolution was passed that declared the year of 1994 The International Year of Family (IYF). Its 30th anniversary will be marked soon, and preparations to celebrate IYF+30 are already being conducted worldwide.

function (n.) – functional (adj.) – dysfunctional (adj.)

Since 1994, 15 May has been observed as the official International Day of Families as a way to strengthen the family bond and raise awareness of issues faced by families throughout the world. The logo of the holiday is a green circle with an image of the basics of every family life: a heart that stretches upwards and forms a roof of a house. Different events – workshops, seminars, policy meetings for public officials, exhibitions, etc. – are organised at local, national and international levels. Schools and educational establishments are also encouraged to get involved and observe the day. Since 1996, the UN has been putting forward a yearly theme for the Day. In 2021, it focused on the impact of new technologies on the well-being of families. The International Day of Families has also inspired several countries in the world to generate their own family days or awareness events that are based on the community to bring attention to family issues.
