Yerevan will mark the International Day of Families. On May 16, the
National Library of Armenia will host an event dedicated to the
holiday.
The International Day of Families is observed on the 15th of May every
year. The Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly resolution in
1993 and reflects the importance the international community attaches
to families. The International Day provides an opportunity to promote
awareness of issues relating to families and increase the knowledge of
the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.
"Far too many families endure chronic, punishing hardship. Lacking
jobs and the means to make ends meet, adults are unable to provide
adequate nutrition for children, leaving them with lifelong physical
and cognitive scars. ...On this International Day of Families, let us
resolve to support families as they nurture the young, care for the
old and foster strong communities built on tolerance and dignity for
all," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his message.
The 2011's commemoration of the International Day of Families focuses
on the "Confronting Family Poverty and Social Exclusion."
