International Day of Families

International Day of Families celebrates the importance of families in society. It highlights the vital role families play in nurturing individuals and communities, promoting social cohesion, and contributing to overall well-being. Families come in all shapes and sizes, encompassing various cultural backgrounds, traditions, and structures. International Day of Families is a time to celebrate this diversity and recognise that the essence of family extends beyond biological ties.
