The day was marked after the UN proclaimed June 1 as the Global Day of Parents in 2012. On this day, people can spend time with their parents and engage in activity that gives them joy.
The UN emphasises that spending time with parents makes the family bond stronger.
History of Global Day of Parents
Though UN formally recognised June 1 as the Global Day of Parents, its history goes back to the 80s.
According to UN website, the international community began realising the important role a family plays in the lives of individuals. To emphasise on this, the UNGA adopted a number of resolutions and proclaimed the International Year of the Family and the International Day of Families.
But the UN said that presence of parents is very important for full and harmonious development of a child’s personality. It added that children should grow up in a family environment and in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding.
Significance of the day
The Global Day of Parents gives a chance to recognise the central role families and parents play in the development and well-being of a child.
They not only offer identity, love, care, provision and protection to children and adolescents, but also provide economic security and stability.
