国际家庭日是什么?2019年国际家庭日在哪一天?
1989年12月8日,第44届联合国大会通过一项决议,宣布1994年为国际家庭年,1993年纽约特别会议提出从1994年起每年5月15日定为国际家庭日(International Day of Families),以此提高各国政府决定和公众对于家庭问题的认识,促进家庭的和睦、幸福和进步。
根据联合国网站介绍,尽管过去几十年全球范围内家庭的形式和机构发生了巨大改变,但是联合国仍将家庭看作是社会中的最小单元。国际家庭日给大家提供了一个关注家庭问题,并提高公众对相关社会、经济、人口问题的认识的机会。
Although families all over the world have transformed greatly over the past decades in terms of their structure and as a result of global trends and demographic changes, the United Nations still recognizes the family as the basic unit of society. The International Day of Families provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting them.It has inspired a series of awareness-raising events, including national family days. In many countries, this day is an opportunity to highlight different areas of interest and importance to families.
国际家庭日定在每年的5月15日,通过大众媒体及各种活动展现这一年的主题。
The International Day of Families is observed on the 15th of May every year. Activities include workshops and conferences, radio and television programmes, newspaper articles and cultural programmes highlighting relevant themes.
联合国2019年国际家庭日主题为 家庭与气候行动:关注可持续发展目标13
2019 Theme: Families and Climate Action: Focus on SDG 13
背景介绍
家庭是社会的“基本细胞”。20世纪80年代以来,全世界家庭数目急增,已达10.3亿个;家庭规模日趋缩小;离婚率普遍上升,美国每2对结婚者中有1对婚变,西欧有三分之一的婚姻以离婚告终;人口老化问题日益严重,全世界65岁以上老人已达3.5亿,欧洲60岁以上的老人已占总人口的五分之一;人们的家庭观念也在发生变化。这些家庭问题给社会带来巨大冲击,日益为国际社会所关注。
1989年12月8日,第44届联合国大会通过一项决议,宣布1994年为“国际家庭年”(InternationalYearoftheFamily),并确定其主题为“家庭:变化世界中的动力与责任”,其铭语是“在社会核心建立最小的民主体制”。此后联合国有关机构又确定以屋顶盖心的图案作为“国际家庭年”的标志,昭示人们用生命和爱心去建立温暖的家庭。国际家庭年的宗旨是提高各国政府、决策者和公众对于家庭问题的认识,促进各政府机构制定、执行和监督家庭政策。
1993年2月,联合国社会发展委员会又作出决定,从1994年起,每年5月15日为“国际家庭日”(InternationalDay for Families)。设立“国际家庭日”旨在改善家庭的地位和条件,加强在保护和援助家庭方面的国际合作。
During the 1980's, 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 its resolution 1985/29 of 29 May 1985 the Council Invited the General Assembly to consider the possibility of including in the provisional agenda of its forty-first session an item entitled “Families in the development process”, with a view to consider a request to the Secretary-General to initiate a process of development of global awareness of the issues involved, directed towards Governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and public opinion.
Later, based on the recommendations of the Commission for Social Development formulated in its 30th round of sessions, The Assembly invited all States to make their views known concerning the possible proclamation of an international year of the family and to offer their comments and proposals.
The Council also requested the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its forty-third session a comprehensive report, based on the comments and proposals of Member States on the possible proclamation of such a year and other ways and means to improve the position and well-being of the family and intensify international co-operation as part of global efforts to advance social progress and development.
In its resolution 44/82 of 9 December 1989, The General Assembly proclaimed The International Year of the Family.
In 1993, the General Assembly decided in a resolution (A/RES/47/237) that 15 May of every year should be observed as The International Day of Families. This day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase the knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.
On 25 September 2015, the 193 member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, a set of 17 goals aiming to eliminate poverty, discrimination, abuse and preventable deaths, address environmental destruction, and usher in an era of development for all people, everywhere. Families and family-oriented policies and programmes are vital for the achievement of many of these goals.
