International Day of Family Remittances 2023: Date, Theme, Significance and History

The International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR) is a universally-recognized observance adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and celebrated every year on 16 June.
The Day recognizes the contribution of over 200 million migrants to improve the lives of their 800 million family members back home, and to create a future of hope for their children.
Half of these flows go to rural areas, where poverty and hunger are concentrated, and where remittances count the most.
