Father's Day in Romania is observed on the second Sunday of May, a date established in 2010 when it became an official holiday under law 319/2009. This law was influenced by the campaign led by the Alliance Fighting Discrimination Against Fathers (TATA), as Romania was the only country in the European Union without an official Father's Day prior to this. The celebration aims to strengthen emotional bonds between children and their fathers, allowing them to express love and affection for one another. The establishment of Father's Day in Romania complements Mother's Day, which is celebrated on the first Sunday of May, highlighting the importance of both parents in child upbringing. This dual celebration in May emphasizes the roles of mothers and fathers in family life.
