The Family Watch (TFW), a think tank affiliated to IFFD in Spain, has promoted the celebration of the International Day of Families in Spain. For the first time, on May 16th, TFW organized an event at the Spanish Parliament. Under the title proposed by UN DESA ‘Families and Inclusive Societies’, a roundtable on the main challenges of families in Spain was held in collaboration with relevant social organizations: UNICEF Spain, ONCE Foundation, CARITAS and Spanish Federation of Food Banks. The event was opened by the Minister of Health, Social Services and Equality, Dolors Montserrat; the closing remarks were made by the President of Parliament, Ana Pastor.
