• raise awareness that households operate within a larger environment and that family well-being impacts all forms of social and economic development;
• advocate for Home Economics education and support research that establishes an ecological perspective on households.

We share the commitment to protect families, to promote equal rights for men and women and to support the education of children, community education and vocational training.
