IFFD Celebration of the International Day of Families
Ten years ago, IFFD was granted the reclassification of the consultative status at United Nations ECOSOC from special to general, a position reserved for large international NGOs whose area of work cover most of the issues on the agenda of ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies.
We are celebrating this anniversary on the occasion of the global observance of the International Day of Families, taking advantage of the possibilities of online events.
Who is behind our work in 70 countries?
Meet the people that make our advocacy and our groundwork worldwide possible.
Discover the past, present and future of the largest parenting education network in the world, and how the pandemic has helped us to grow.
