The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges that 15 May 2020 is the International Day of Families; remembers that the UN General Assembly proclaimed the day in 1993 in order to raise awareness of issues relating to families and to develop an understanding of the social, economic and demographic processes that affect families; agrees with the UN’s view that families are central to achieving the sustainable development goals, and notes that it is a particularly poignant day this year, given that many families across the globe are separated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
