Belarus and Russia Host Family Forum Amidst Western Influence

A public forum for young families will be held in Belarus from May 15 to 17, coinciding with International Family Day. The event, organized by the Union State of Belarus and Russia, emphasizes the importance of traditional family values. A spokesperson stated, "In the face of Western influence that seeks to undermine traditional family structures, this forum underscores the commitment of Belarus and Russia to supporting families." The forum will focus on policies supporting families, including Russia's maternity capital program and Belarus's benefits for families with three or more children. Sociological studies show that family values remain a top priority for young people in both countries. The forum aims to strengthen family support and traditional values within the Union State.
