Family literacy initiatives are ubiquitous in the U.S., Canada and many countries in Europe, and in many economically advantaged countries family literacy programs are available for refugees and economic migrants, especially mothers and children learning new languages and life skills so that they can survive and thrive in the new places that have become their home. Similarly, countries such as Afghanistan, Nepal, and Sub Saharan Africa offer village based family literacy programs, which seek to develop literacy in the context of community needs such as health, employment and family planning. In some countries family literacy initiatives are designed to reduce gender inequality and family violence, while in other countries family literacy programs focus on the amelioration of psychological and emotional traumas resulting from armed conflict and the support of family members physically disabled by war.
