"There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human society, are created, strengthened and maintained."

-Winston Churchill

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

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.
