COFACE Families Europe - Confederation of Family Organisations in the EU

COFACE
The Confederation of Family Organisations in the European Union (COFACE Families Europe) is a pluralistic organisation, at the heart of civil society, which aims at promoting family policy, solidarity between generations and the interests of children within the European Union.

COFACE advocates a policy of non-discrimination and of equal opportunities between persons and between family forms, and specifically supports policies aiming at equality between women and men.

COFACE was originally founded in 1958. Since then, it has been linking together family organisations from all over Europe to discuss and work on issues such as balancing work and family life, children’s wellbeing, solidarity between generations, migrant families, disabled and dependent persons, gender equality, education, parenting, health issues, consumer affairs, etc.

With more than 50 member organisations in the Member States of the European Union, COFACE gives a voice to many millions of families at EU level.
