It’s International Family Day 💕 Give a loved one a call or go for a visit!
“Families are central to social and economic progress, yet many face income insecurity, limited caregiving support and unequal access to essential services. Without adequate support, families with young children face higher risks of poverty, with lasting effects on children’s health, education and overall wellbeing. Income instability, limited caregiving support and restricted access to services can hinder children’s development, especially when compounded by gender, racial, migrant or disability-based inequalities.
As global disparities widen, this year’s observance will spotlight gaps in income, education, healthcare, digital access and essential services that shape children’s life chances. It will emphasize the need for integrated social protection systems — including child benefits, parental leave, affordable childcare and early education — to strengthen family resilience, reduce poverty and promote equal opportunities.”
