When is the International Day of Families and how is it relevant to Afghanistan?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

The International Day of Families is observed on 15 May. The UN observance highlights the role and changing conditions of families in society.

What the figure or term means

Afghan families face pressures from displacement, return, food insecurity, debt, education restrictions, health access, and climate shocks.

Family-focused assistance should protect dignity and recognize different household structures rather than assuming one model.

The date is fixed; household statistics should carry their survey year.
