World Congress of Families (auch WCF) sind internationale, religiös-familistisch orientierte und - inzwischen - jährlich tagender Kongresse, mit Sitz in den Vereinigten Staaten[1].

Organisation

Eines der Ziele der Kongresse ist die Restauration der „natürlichen Familie“, um so das Fundament der Gesellschaft zu sichern.[2] In ihrem "mission statement" heißt es:

"Our mission is to help secure the foundations of society by uniting and empowering leaders worldwide to respect, protect, and defend:
* the natural family founded on marriage between a man and a woman;
* parental rights and the welfare of children, including their need for both a mother and a father;
* the dignity and sanctity of all human life from conception; and
* freedom of speech, religion, and conscience in an atmosphere of respect for all."[3] 

Grundlage des World Congress of Families bzw. des IOF ist zudem die Kaptstadt-Erklärung, in der es unter anderem heißt:

"Eine zivilisierte Kultur schützt deswegen die Ehe und mit ihr die ganze Gesellschaft. Sie fördert die Treue und betrachtet Sex außerhalb der Ehe als Missbrauch. Sie schützt vor Pornografie, Promiskuität und Scheidungen; und sie schützt, indem sie jedem Versuch, die Ehe umzudefinieren, die Stirn bietet: weder gleichgeschlechtliche, noch Gruppenbindungen, weder sexuell offene, noch zeitlich befristete Gemeinschaften sind als Ehen anzuerkennen."[4]

Gründung

Die Grundlagen für den WCF wurde 1995 von Allan C. Carlson gelegt und waren ein Projekt des The Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society in Illionis. Nach Angabe von Claudia Ciobanu waren an der Gründung auch Anatoly Antonov and Viktor Medkov von der Moskauer Staats-Universität beteiligt.[5][6]

Kristina Stoeckl schreibt auf Grundlage eines Tagebuchs von Allan Carlson:

"Antonov machte Carlson mit vielen Menschen in Moskau bekannt, mit Akademikern, Intellektuellen und Politikern. Er brachte ihn dazu, den Fachbereich Soziologie und das Zentrum für Bevölkerungsstudien der Moskauer Staatsuniversität zu besuchen, wo der amerikanische Gast im Forschungsinstitut für Familie (Institut Sem'i i Vospitaniia Rossiiskaia Akademiia Obrazovaniia) der Russischen Akademie für Bildung unter der Leitung von Sergei V. Darmodekhin herzlich empfangen wurde. Carlson schreibt in seinem Tagebuch voller Stolz: "Er [Darmodekhin] zeigte mir eine Kopie meines Artikels aus dem Jahr 1989, 'A Pro-Family Income Tax', der vor zwei Jahren in einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift erschienen war, in russischer Übersetzung. Dieser Artikel, so sagte er, habe 'großen Einfluss' auf die Beamten der Russischen Föderation, die sich um eine Umstrukturierung der nationalen Einkommenssteuer bemühen [...] Darmodekhin lud Carlson zu einer Zusammenarbeit mit dem Moskauer Forschungsinstitut für Familie ein. Der russische Gastgeber hatte einen Entwurf für ein Kooperationsabkommen zwischen dem Institut und dem Howard Center vorbereitet. Die Vereinbarung beinhaltete laut Carlsons Tagebuch die Erstellung gemeinsamer Publikationen und Übersetzungen im Bereich der Familiensoziologie, die Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekts, den Austausch von Material und Informationen sowie die Ernennung Carlsons zum Mitglied des wissenschaftlichen Beirats des russischen Forschungsinstituts für die Familie.[7]"

Diese Erzählung muss ein wenig korrigiert werden. Tatsächlich trat Carlson bereits im Januar 1995 bei einem Kongress des Prager Civic Instituts als Referent auf.[8] Und in Prag fand dann zwei Jahre später unter Mitarbeit des Civic Instituts der erste World Congress of Families statt.[9][1] Auffällig ist, dass an der ersten Tagung gleich sieben Hauptsprecher*innen aus der als "Psychosekte"[10] kritisierten Verein zur Förderung der psychologische Menschenkenntnis (VPM) bzw. ihrer Organisation "Mut zur Ethik" stammten. Unter dem Label "Mut zur Ethik" fanden bereits ab 1993 internationale familistisch-antifeministische Kongresse statt, die von der Ausrichtung denen des Worldcongress of Family ähnelten. Laut der Website der VPM-Organisation Mut zur Ethik von 1997 (aber auch noch sehr viel späteren Jahren) sei auch das Civic Institute aus Prag Mitglied der "Europäischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft 'Mut zur Ethik'"[11].

Das Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society ist heute unter dem Namen International Organization for the Family (IOF) bekannt.[12]

Partner*innen

Nach Auskunft des IOF hatte der WCF 2017 folgende Partner*innen[13]:

Die WCF-Kongresse

World Congress of Family organisierte bislang 11 Kongresse in Prag, Genua, Mexiko City, Warschau, Amsterdam, Madrid, Sydney, Salt Lake City, Tiflis/ Georgien, Budapest / Ungarn und Chișinău / Moldavien[14][15][1]. Der eigentlich als achter in Moskau geplante Kongress musste aufgrund des Ukraine-Konflikts ausfallen, wie Gabriele Kuby in einem Artikel für Kath.net schreibt. Der Kongress wurde dann, so Kuby, "den russischen Gastgebern" überlassen.[16]
