National Week of Action

For one week each year, the Family Matters National Week of Action relies on you, our supporters and organisational members of the Family Matters Strategic Alliance, to build public awareness and political commitment for our campaign to make sure all our children grow up strong in family, culture and community. 

Our next Family Matters National Week of Action will be held in May 2021.

The National Family Matters Leadership Group regretfully postponed our planned National Week of Action that was due to run from 18-24 May 2020. 

Community empowerment and human rights lie at the heart of the Family Matters campaign. Together with community leaders and communities, we will drive local change, inform and empower families and call on Governments to act.

Keep checking this page for the latest updates on National Week of Action in 2021 and how you can get involved.
