Families First UN Initiative

OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION a unique and collaborative approach to creating transformational change for families and children. We seek to transform systems and empower communities through meaningful partnerships, compassionate action, and dedicated advocacy. Our mission focuses on creating safe, supportive, and thriving environments where every family can flourish, every child can realize their potential, and every parent—healthy fathers and mothers—can actively contribute to nurturing the next generation.

OUR VISION

We envision a future where every family, healthy father, mother, and child is empowered to bring their unique perspective to bear on society’s most monumental challenges. Together, they will participate in the search for bold, inclusive solutions that foster strength, resilience, and hope. Our vision is one of unity and collective action—where families across the United States and worldwide stand protected, supported, and heard. By collaborating with United Nations members, corporations, NGOs, and embassies in New York, Geneva, and beyond, we aim to create a world where families are safeguarded, children’s rights are championed, and communities prosper through equity, compassion, and transformative change. Your voice and perspective are crucial to this collective vision.

Historical Significance in The Families First UN Initiative

The Families First UN Initiative draws inspiration from institutions shaping global humanitarian and justice landscapes. The United Nations has been a beacon of hope and international cooperation since its founding in 1945, working to promote peace, security, and human rights worldwide. Our use of red, white, and blue not only acknowledges the United States’ enduring commitment to justice and democracy but also honors the ideals of collaboration and service embodied by these institutions. The Families First UN Initiative Team aims to create lasting positive change through this shared legacy by empowering families and children globally.

Our History

We work with all the bodies and departments of the United Nations that work with children and families, supporting the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Our global collaborations with member states of the United Nations, multiple NGOs, corporations, ambassadors, and staff of the United Nations, and Global Communities are all part of this alignment. This collaboration draws inspiration from global institutions that have profoundly shaped the humanitarian, justice, and developmental landscape for families and children.

The Families First UN Initiative also honors the historical significance of the United Nations, a beacon of global cooperation, peace, and security since 1945, committed to advancing human rights and dignity for all. We form a united front to protect and empower families, with parents and children at the center of every solution.

The Families First UN Initiative stands with the UN in declaring that child rights are human rights. But we go further: a child’s right to maintain loving relationships with both healthy parents must be a global priority.
