⭐️Global Day of Parents⭐️
🔸1 June is a Global Day of Parents, it's a great opportunity to appreciate and thank all parents throughout the world for their "selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship".
📜History
🔸On the 17 of September 2012 the General Assembly proclaimed 1 June the Global Day of Parents (Resolution 66/292) and since then it is celebrated annually.
🔸In the 1980s the United Nations began paying more attention to the family related issues. Apart from other initiatives, in 1989 the General Assembly proclaimed 1994 the International Year of the Family (resolution 44/82). The theme of the Year was “Family: resources and responsibilities in a changing world” and Its motto: “Building the Smallest Democracy at the Heart of Society”.
