International
Year of the Family
Community and NGO Meetings
2004 is the 10th Anniversary of the
U.N.’s
1994 International Year of the Family
(IYF). The
World Family Policy Center invites you
to participate
in IYF events by hosting a community
meeting in
your area. Holding a meeting will not
take a lot
of time, but can have a significant
effect by
educating your community on the dangers
facing
the family worldwide. If you would like
to host
a meeting in your community,
neighborhood, or
church/mosque/synagogue, The World
Family Policy
can help by providing information that
you may
use. If you do hold a community event in
celebration
of the International Year of the Family,
we would
like to hear from you. Please send us a
brief
report of your event summarizing your
discussions
on natural marriage, religious freedom,
and family
values. These reports will be submitted
to The
Doha International Conference for the
Family
to be held this November in Doha, Qatar.
For more information on how to host a
community
event in your area, or to send a report
of a meeting
you have held, please visit

World Family Policy Center
Financial support and online
donations
As people become educated in matters of
national
and international family policy, many
like to
participate financially. Giving a gift
is easy.

Family Policy
Center in our efforts to support the
Family, please

The Social Role of the Family
Richard
Wilkins, Managing Director
Social science data demonstrates two
nearly incontestable
conclusions: (1) stable, natural marital
structures
provide profound benefits for men, women
and children,
while (2) The breakdown of stable,
natural marital
structures imposes significant social
costs upon
individuals and society at large. In
short, families
play a profoundly important social role.
Without
healthy families we simply cannot have a
healthy
society. We must re-awaken the
conscience of the
world regarding the social role of the
family.
