“Families Matter for the Achievement of Development Goals”
"By providing economic and emotional sustenance to their members, families can raise productive, caring citizens committed to the common good," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his statement about this year's theme, "Families Matter for the Achievement of Development Goals." He added that strong, well-functioning families can help "reduce poverty, improve the wellbeing of mothers, promote gender equality and uphold human rights."
UPF chapters organized a variety of events commemorating the UN International Day of Families, May 15, 2014. UPF promotes this UN observance because it considers the family as a microcosm of the global community and peace as grounded in the family as the most intimate social unit, the school of love.
