May 15th, 2018 is United Nations’ International Day of Families. This year’s theme is “families and inclusive societies”, based on Sustainable Development Goal 16. Families play a vital role in the development of safe and inclusive societies and children raised in stable and supportive families develop positive qualities that maintain inclusive communities in the future. Programs and policies that promote the healthy development of children, especially those that support women and mothers, are of vital importance.
Organizations doing great work in this area:
Wakami Global transforms rural Guatemalan villages by teaching women business skills and providing access to products and services that benefit families and children.
Through research, implementation, and policy the Women’s Refugee Commission aims to improve the lives and protect the rights of women and children fleeing conflict and crisis.
Pathfinder International serves marginalized women by expanding access to reproductive services globally.
