Global Day of Parents 2022 Celebrates on 1st June

Parents are a beacon of a child’s life. They lay the foundation for children, and nurture and equip them with the skills that are necessary throughout life. Parents protect their children and make countless selfless sacrifices to ensure their growth. Every year Global Day of Parents is observed on the 1st of June globally. The Global Day of Parents is an annual event that celebrates the importance of parents in children’s lives. The purpose of the Global Day of Parents is to promote understanding and appreciation for the role parents play in their children’s lives. It also aims to raise awareness about the importance of quality parenting and family life.

Theme 

The theme for Global Parent Day 2022 is ‘Appreciate all parents throughout the world’, awareness internationally. Being conscious of one’s own and one’s family’s emotional and physical well-being might be critical. Being able to track and discuss one’s mental and physical health with one’s family members, as well as being there for one another and assisting one another through tough times, is incredibly vital for humans everywhere.

History

During the 1980s, the United Nations began focusing attention on the issues related to the family. In 1983, based on the recommendations of the Economic and Social Council, the Commission for Social Development in its resolution on the Role of the family in the development process (1983/23) requested the Secretary-General to enhance awareness among decision-makers and the public of the problems and needs of the family, as well as of effective ways of meeting those needs. In 2012, the General Assembly proclaimed 1 June as the Global Day of Parents, to be observed annually in honour of parents throughout the world.
