Importance of Daughters Day
Daughters Day is dedicated to all daughters and the love and care they bring to a family. For decades, sons were celebrated in a traditional way, and daughters were given very little recognition. The recognition of the importance of a daughter has grown majorly in recent decades. This day reminds that daughters are also equal and should be loved and cared for just like their brothers.
This festival shows that family is not only important but it also appreciates girl children, and it teaches children to treat girls like boys. Daughters are believed to carry forward the strength of the family as far as its values, traditions and relationships are concerned as they bring love and warmth to the home.
History of Daughters Day
The origin of Daughters’ Day has nothing to do with any particular country and culture, but it is believed to have emerged as a protest against patriarchal norms that favored sons over daughters in some societies since the beginning of time. It is a day to uplift and empower daughters, break away from traditional stereotypes, and celebrate the valuable contributions daughters make to their families and society.
Most interestingly, Daughters Day has become more meaningful in countries like India, where female foeticide was a major problem earlier. Families remind themselves to love and respect their daughters equally, providing them with the same opportunities and support as their sons. Daughters Day gains significance through raising strong, confident and educated daughters who will positively impact the world.
