Did you know WFO is a UN Peace Messenger?

In 1987, the United Nations designated the World Family Organization as a Peace Messenger "in recognition of a significant contribution to the programme and objectives of the International Year of Peace, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly".

Since its foundation in 1947, where WFO was created with the objective to promote peace after the World War II and to reunite the Families which had been separated by the conflicts, the Organization has always had Peace as a central theme in its mission.

This is one of the many honories WFO has received for its works towards the wellbeing of Families worldwide which included the privilege to be among the 7 first Organizations to have received the General Consultative Status with the United Nations in 1948.

H.E. Turkish Prime Minister meets Dr. Deisi Kusztra

The Turkish Prime Minister, H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined the dinner of the 6th World Family Summit held in Istanbul on Saturday with the President of the World Family Organization, Dr. Deisi Kusztra.

Expressing his pride in enfranchisement of the Turkish women before many others in the world, Erdoðan

said that women have undertaken very important tasks in development of Turkey since the proclamation of

the Republic.

The Prime Minister pointed out the significance of women within the family structure and said that family would be shaken if they are overlooked.

Erdogan also said as follows: “A world where women are oppressed is unlivable. A world where they are ignored is deprived of beauty. A world where they are isolated goes without compassion and affection. A world where they are regarded cheap labor is unfair. So I am saying that politics, democracy or administration without women involved is injustice, inequity and imperfection for all the society.”

Warning on a dangerous moral and cultural degeneration, Prime Minister Erdogan underlined that they will

not let family values be victims of a cultural degeneration.
