As we commemorate this year’s International Day of Families, we recognize the meaningful contributions that families make to advancing the mission of the United Nations.
值此本年度國際家庭日之際，我們要表彰家庭爲推進聯合國使命所作出的寶貴貢獻。

By providing economic and emotional sustenance to their members, families can raise productive, caring citizens committed to the common good. Strong, well-functioning families, whatever form they may take, can help reduce poverty, improve the wellbeing of mothers, promote gender equality and uphold human rights.
家庭爲成員提供經濟和情感依託，將成員培養爲有生產能力和愛心並致力於公益的公民。不論何種形式的家庭，只要關係穩固、運作良好，都有助於減少貧窮，增進母親健康，促進性別平等，維護人權。

Support for families is crucial to realizing their full potential. That means factoring their needs into development policies, considering their circumstances in addressing conflicts, and advocating for the equal treatment of all families, regardless of their structure. As we strive to usher in a more sustainable future, achieve the Millennium Development Goals, shape a new development agenda and combat climate change, let us mobilize the world’s families.
要充分發揮家庭的潛力，就必須爲其提供支助。爲此，應將家庭的需求納入發展政策，在解決衝突時考慮到家庭的情況，且提倡對所有家庭不論其結構如何均一視同仁。我們正在努力建設更可持續的未來，實現千年發展目標，制定新發展議程，應對氣候變化。在這些方面，讓我們把全球的家庭都動員起來。

On this International Day of Families, let us strive to strengthen these small but critical units found in every society so that we may advance as one human family toward greater progress.
家庭單元存在於每個社會，規模雖小但舉足輕重。值此國際家庭日，讓我們努力增強這些單元，使我們整個人類大家庭能夠取得更大進步。
