Global Day of Parents
Global Day of Parents is celebrated every year on 1st June. The UN General Assembly declared it an international holiday in 2012 with resolution A/RES/66/292 to honour all parents. The Global Day is a chance to celebrate all parents for their unselfish dedication to their children and their sacrifices throughout their lives to nurture this bond.
Towards their children around the world, parents have made hard sacrifices and struggled to support their children. 2022 theme is about recognizing parents’ worth & affection and valuing their sacrifices for their children.
The United Nations General Assembly emphasized that families are fundamental to children’s well-being because they provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for them to grow up. Recognition of the importance of parental involvement in child development is emphasized in the resolution and calls on the Member States to celebrate the day with civil society, mainly including children and youth.

Parents who have been alive for a long time are revered in most cultures. God’s greatest gift to us is our parents. No one in this world can replace parents. They genuinely wish you well.
The day also honours the fact that children’s well-being and safety are primarily the responsibility of their parents and other family members.
