International Day of Families 2025: Date, Theme, History, Significance, Celebrations

International Families Day 2025: The International Day of Families is annually celebrated on May 15th worldwide, with the day falling on Wednesday, May 15, in 2025. The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating May 15 of each year as the International Day of Families in 1983, based on the recommendations put forth by the Commission for Social Development and the Economic and Social Council. The theme for this year's International Day of Families is 'Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development: Towards the Second World Summit for Social Development.' To address megatrends like technological innovation, demographic upheaval, urbanisation, migration, and climate change, the theme highlights and emphasises how family-oriented policies assist in advancing sustainable development, particularly the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. As part of worldwide initiatives to promote social progress and development, International Families Day seeks to raise awareness of family issues, enhance their standing and well-being in society, and encourage international cooperation. 15 May is International #DayOfFamilies! #FamiliesOfToday shape tomorrow's societies.
