The idea behind Global Parents Day was to recognise their valuable contribution to the upbringing of children and society as a whole. Undoubtedly, parents have a crucial role to play in not just nurturing their children but in the process, shaping the healthy and prosperous future of the society and county at large. Global Parents Days was officially announced in the year 2012 by the General Assembly. However, in 1983, the Economic and Social Council, the Commission for Social Development was the first organisation to focus on the need, and issues of a family and to start dialogues around it in their resolution. Eventually, the day to celebrate families was also officially declared. So why not the ones who actually start it?
