33 municipalities in Murau Murtal as family -friendly

On November 19, 2024, an important event for the Murau-Murtal region took place in the Sankt Lambrecht Abbey. In a festive ceremony, a total of 33 municipalities in the region were officially awarded family -friendly. These certificates, which have the titles "Family Friendliceregion" and "Family -Friendly Agency", are the result of years of efforts to promote a family -friendly environment.

The Minister of Family Susanne Raab emphasized how important families are for the social structure. "Families are the heart of our society. Therefore, I am particularly pleased that an entire region was certified as family -friendly for the first time," she said, emphasizing the need to create conditions that improve the life of families. This not only increases the quality of life, but also strengthen social cohesion in the region.

child -friendly awards

A special mention deserves that 31 of the excellent communities have also received the UNICEF supplementary certificate "Child-friendly community". In order to get such additional qualifications, special measures must be taken in areas relevant to child rights. These additional awards show the commitment of the communities to support child -friendly initiative and to align their structures.

Johannes Pressl, President of the Austrian Association, emphasized the economic benefits of family friendliness. These measures would not only attract families, but also promote the local economy by strengthening the trade and service sector and thus expanding the labor base.

Certification is not only a title, but also a process in which the citizens of all ages actively take part in the evaluation and improvement of existing family -friendly offers. Essa is therefore not only aimed at the municipalities, but also to the population that is included in the design.

A total of around 670 municipalities and 14 regions have already participated in the certification in Austria. This corresponds to around 30 percent of all Austrian communities and has the advantage that over 3.3 million citizens can benefit from family -friendly measures. "Austria is the country of families and this is also evident in every single community, whose family friendliness plays decisively for the quality of life," continued Raab.

Development towards more family-friendly communities in the Murau-Murtal region shows that local administrations are actively working on a better living environment for families. The importance of these awards goes beyond the limits of the communities and sends a strong signal for other regions.
