==In politics== {{Main|Familialism}} [[Familialism]] or ''familism'' is the [[ideology]] that puts priority on [[family]] and family values.<ref name=Ochiai>{{cite book|title=Transformation of the Intimate and the Public in Asian Modernity. The Intimate and the Public in Asian and Global Perspectives|author=Emiko Ochiai, Leo Aoi Hosoya|publisher=BRILL|year=2014|pages=20β1|isbn=9789004264359}}</ref> Familialism advocates for a welfare system where families, rather than the [[government]], take responsibility for the care of their members.<ref name=Ochiai/> In the United States, the banner of "family values" has been used by [[Conservatism in the United States|the US political right]] to express opposition to [[abortion]], [[pornography]], non-abstinence sex education, [[divorce]], LGBTQ validity, [[same-sex marriage]], [[feminism]], gender diversity, [[secularism]], and [[atheism]]. American conservative groups have made successful inroads promoting these policies in [[Africa]] since the early 2000s, describing them as African family values.<ref>{{cite journal |last=McEwen |first=Haley |date=May 25, 2017 |title=Nuclear power: The family in decolonial perspective and 'pro-family' politics in Africa |journal=Development Southern Africa |volume=34 |issue=6 |pages=738β751 |doi=10.1080/0376835X.2017.1318700 |s2cid=148956131 }}</ref> The phrase ''family values'' originated with the 1992 Republican National Convention, for their "Family Values Night", featuring [[Barbara Bush]] as the keynote speaker. In the short term the phrase was widely panned, and at the time the staying power of the idea was underestimated. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Tribune |first=Chicago |date=1992-10-06 |title=FAMILY VALUES RHETORIC BACKFIRES ON GOP |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/10/06/family-values-rhetoric-backfires-on-gop/ |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=Chicago Tribune |language=en-US}}</ref>
