Principles of the National Strategy for Strengthening Family Bonds:

I – respect for the dignity of the human person;

II – the recognition of the family as the basis of society and deserving of special protection by the State; and

III – the guarantee of the right to family and community coexistence.

Objectives of the National Strategy for Strengthening Family Bonds:

I – to support, strengthen and articulate the existing initiatives within the scope of the policy competencies coordinated by the organs of the federal Executive Branch and to propose actions and improvements based on evidence and best practices;

II – propose integrated strategies that can enhance intersectoral articulation, qualify attention to family ties within the scope of public policies and enhance results;

III – promote the evaluation of the family impact of policies, programs and actions in preparation or implemented by the organs of the federal Executive Branch, aiming at the elaboration of proposals that improve the attention to families within the scope of public policies;

IV – encourage research, production and dissemination of knowledge about the reality of Brazilian families and the relationship between family ties and the well-being of the population; and

V – articulate the efforts between the federal government and civil society, in favor of valuing, supporting and strengthening family ties.

Conclusion

The family really has everything to do with human rights. It is the only way to guarantee society a long-term vision, while policies that defend LGBTQ + rights and the incentive to abortion work totally against the family and harm society.

Be aware of what you can do in your own home, company, church, and sphere of influence in order to strengthen family bonds. The family is the means by which God chose to bless all people.

I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Genesis 12:3

Prayer: God, thank you so much for my family. I ask You to give me the grace to cultivate a healthy home so that my children and everyone around us can be blessed, in Christ Jesus. Amen.
