History of Daughters Day
It is a known fact that patriarchy ruled the world for a long time and is prevalent even today. Some positive changes have been brought about in the past decade, which has helped women stand up for themselves and the ‘girl community’ as a whole. The day holds a historic significance to remind each and everyone to treat their sons and daughters alike. The day is specially dedicated to the ‘girl child’ to address the issue and stop identifying women as an inferior gender.
Significance of Daughters Day
Daughters day is all about empowering girls. In India, where many people are still obsessed with a boy child, this day will continue to remind them that girls are no less. Daughters are special and there is no denying the fact that they help in keeping the family together. Talking about her daughter, Hugh Jackman once said, "When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that’s happened that day just melts away."

Facts about Daughters Day
While Daughters Day is celebrated to appreciate daughters, it also erases the stigma attached to being a girl child. Be it professional workspace or home, a woman not only multitasks but also manages everything better than a man. Time and again, women of the country and around the globe have proved that they can single handedly bring about a change, which is necessary in the world.
How to celebrate Daughters Day

You can plan a ‘mom and daughter’ outing and take her out to buy something.

Giving some useful gift to your girl can also make the day even more special. Another way you can celebrate the day is by planning a movie night. Watch her favourite movie together and top it up with some snacks.
Be it gifts, outing or celebrations, nothing can beat the gift of time. In today’s time where no one has enough time to spend with each other, scoop out some time to let your daughter know that she is special. Sit down with her and have a chit chat. Talk about everything and anything. Laugh your heart out. And most of all, let her know how much you love her.
So, celebrate the day with your girl and cheers to all the daughters around the globe!
